Many people supporting someone with dementia don't consider themselves to be carers. 💭

However, registering as a carer with your GP will enable them to support you in your caring role. The support offered by your GP practice will vary, but here are some of the things it may include:

🕐 Flexibility when booking doctor’s appointments, like booking back-to-back appointments if both you and the person you care for need to see the GP

💙 Support with your physical and mental health to enable you to carry out your caring responsibilities

🏥 Free annual health checks

🚚 Having prescriptions delivered to your home

This International Day of Care and Support, share this post to help spread awareness!

🕺🎵 Colourful Memories CIC is a Non-Profit organisation dedicated to supporting people living with dementia by providing essential activity resources. Today, we had the opportunity to volunteer and donate activity resources at the Spinning Memories event at the The Muni Theatre in Colne.

The event was 🤩AMAZING,🤩 The DJ played vinyl records 🎵🎶 from the 1950s to the 1990s, creating a fantastic atmosphere. Many songs inspired dancing and singing throughout the afternoon, making it a great event.

We have invested years in creating hundreds of activities that support people affected by dementia. It was lovely to share these today and to speak with so many people who have been impacted by dementia. A huge well done to the organisers for making it such a FANTASTIC event! 👏 You can download our activities for FREE! here:⬇️ https://mycolourfulmemories.com Dementia Positive Pendle Pendle Leisure Centre Pendle East Lancashire Neighbourhood Team
