As part of Dementia Action Week, DBIA has this week presented Jeanette Dunn with our Local Community Award 2025 In Recognition of Outstanding Volunteer Service to the Ballina Dementia Community

It all started with long-time friends Jeanette and Judy Latta reconnecting through the Activity Group Facebook posts loaded by Judy. Jeanette began baking cupcakes for the group’s morning teas using ingredients from her daughter’s closed cake shop. Even after the supplies ran out, she continued to provide her delicious cupcakes. Her thoughtful gesture brings joy to members, enhancing the lives of people living with dementia and their carers.
