Dementia Friends
Fifteen members of our staff have completed a training course run by The Alzheimer’s Society to become recognised Dementia Friends.
The course looks at understanding issues surrounding dementia and what’s it’s like living with dementia or caring for someone with a dementia diagnosis.
The Alzheimer’s Society are on target to recruit 4 million Dementia Friends by 2020 and Burton & Dyson are proud to be part of the scheme.
To build on the Dementia Friends training, Sarah Grayson, Solicitor in our Wills and Probate department, is also a member of the West Lindsey Dementia Action Alliance, which aims to raise awareness of dementia related issues in the local community and is working towards making West Lindsey a recognised Dementia Friendly Community.
