Our fourth Dementia Awareness meeting was conducted online, following the success of our third session at Chiltern Hospital. The virtual event, held on November 18th 2025, was coordinated by Committee member Councillor Rob Gill with substantial support from Trustee Pete Healy.
Dementia Specialist Sally Blackden delivered an insightful presentation, addressing topics such as recognising early signs of dementia, lifestyle modifications that may help prevent or delay the progression of this challenging condition, and practical advice for caring for individuals living with dementia at home, including her renowned “tricks of the trade.” The session concluded with a Q&A segment.
The meeting was attended primarily by councillors from across Buckinghamshire. Councillor Rob Gill is now organising even larger and more impactful events for local councils next year.
Many thanks to Rob, Pete and especially to Sally for holding this successful event
