This is a story about people, its people who make a
difference
We are well into our Make a Difference Campaign and Tour,
just passing the 295 talk mark with another 50 confirmed as of today and
nearing 5,000 personal pledges to make a difference.
We are so very lucky to have met so many kind and caring
people over the last year on this campaign, and I supposes that’s the heart of
making a difference it’s all about people and relationships.
Over and above policies and strategies its people who change
lives, It was people who when my mum was in hospital as they walked away from
her bed I would think I am so glad we met you today, I feel less scared than I
did before. It was people as they walked out of our house, when caring, I
would sit and think I am so glad you were in our house today, I
understand more than I did before. People we had conversations with on
the phone that would often help us through the rest of the day, on other
occasions it was people who left us feeling lost ,scared and alone.
Dementia is everyone’s business it’s about people, it’s
about the unique and remarkable life and love stories we all have, as do the
people we meet and this tour and campaign is about. I hope celebrating
and empowering people, celebrating the amazing kindness care and compassion
people give and show every day and empowering people that no matter what their
role they have the opportunity to transform the lives and experiences of people
living with dementia, their families and carers.
This is a story about people, this is a campaign about
people so thank you for all you do and thank you for making a difference.
