Episode 2: Providing social support services for dementia during COVID-19

In Episode 2, I am joined by three social support service providers all providing support for those living with dementia and family carers. Jacqui Cannon is a former carer and CEO of the Lewy Body Society, a Wigan-based dementia charity operating nationally. Ripaljeet Kaur is a Coordinator at BME Dementia Service at Touchstone, a mental health organization based in Leeds. Nanette Mellor is Chief Executive Officer of The Brain Charity which is an organisation that offers emotional support, practical help and social activities for individuals with any neurological condition. 

In this episode, we talk about the challenges faced in providing support for dementia during the pandemic, and how smaller and larger charities had to adapt.
