This podcast discusses everything around ageing and science. What does it mean to age well? What is the latest research? And what affects people with dementia? Each mini-series will explore a different angle, where I will be inviting experts in the field (from scientists to clinicians, from service providers to decision makers, and most importantly, people sharing their own experiences of ageing).

In Episode 2, I am joined by three social support service providers all providing support for those living with dementia and family carers. Jacqui Cannon is a former carer and CEO of the Lewy Body Society, a Wigan-based dementia charity operating nationally. Ripaljeet Kaur is a Coordinator at BME Dementia Service at Touchstone, a mental health organization based in Leeds. Nanette Mellor is Chief Executive Officer of The Brain Charity which is an organisation that offers emotional support, practical help and social activities for individuals with any neurological condition.
In this episode, we talk about the challenges faced in providing support for dementia during the pandemic, and how smaller and larger charities had to adapt.
