'Using my experiences to help others' – Dementia together podcast August 2024
Alzheimer's Society PodcastShow Notes
For our latest Dementia together podcast we spoke to Dawn Davies in Swansea.
Around two years ago, Dawn was diagnosed with young-onset Alzheimer’s.
It came as a massive shock and Dawn retreated from the world, even the idea of leaving the house terrified her.
But with support from her family and the Dementia Hwb in Swansea’s Quadrant Shopping Centre, Dawn turned things around.
Dawn now works at the Hwb, helping others deal with a dementia diagnosis.
You can visit alzheimers.org.uk/publications for our range of publications and factsheets designed to support and inform anyone affected by dementia.
For personalised information and advice, call our Dementia support line on 0333 150 3456, or for Welsh speakers call 03300 947 400.
