Dementia UK is the specialist dementia nurse charity. Our nurses, called Admiral Nurses – who we continually support and develop – provide life-changing care for families affected by all forms of dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease.

Story

Dad passed away on 26 Nov 2024. He would have been 90 years old on 4th April. I wanted to do something in his memory.

I wanted to raise money for Dementia UK as I had used all of their resources throughout the 7-8 years dad was living with dementia. in particular, I spoke to Admiral Nurses who were particular supportive for listening, advising and signposting me to places I didn't know about.

Many of these poems I wrote when I was going through all sorts of moments with dad, on my own and is reflective of how a Carer exists day to day. They are personal, a rollercoaster of emotions and was how I could express myself.

Thank you for listening and for your donation and support.
