"Write it Down" campaign helps those with dementia
A campaign's been launched to encourage anyone worried they may be developing the early signs of dementia to start jotting down their memories.
The 'Write it Down' project has been set up by June Hennell, from Carers Gloucestershire, whose husband Brian was diagnosed with dementia in 2009.
Recording the details of things which sufferers are forgetting should help GPs with diagnosing what might be wrong.
More help is available from the GL11 Community Project, Fairmead, Cam, Dursley - or if you want to talk to someone, you can call the Managing Memory Service on 0800 694 8800.
