The Law Society is to support The Alzheimer’s Show

The Alzheimer’s Show is pleased to announce that The Law Society is supporting the show. Richard Roberts, Chair of the Wills and Equity Committee, will be speaking in the ‘Alzheimer’s Matters’ theatre about wills, probate and a range of practical issues. 

We are very pleased that Lynda Bellingham has very kindly agreed to support the event. For many years Lynda has been very active in raising awareness of dementia and the impact it has on sufferers and carers.

Toby Siddall, Managing Director for Care UK’s Residential Care Services said:

“Care UK is delighted to be a sponsor of the Alzheimer’s Show, the first exhibition dedicated to people living with dementia, their carers and professionals. Our team will be on hand to offer advice on the many different care options for people living with dementia – from care at home and day care to residential and nursing care.

Care Services Minister, Paul Burstow said:

“Dementia presents a massive challenge for society and is a priority area for Government, so I’m delighted to support this exhibition. The Alzheimer’s Show will be a real boost to people with dementia and their carers, providing the latest information on services, technology and dementia research. 

David Cameron today said that dementia in this country is a ‘national crisis’ and has made it his personal priority to make the UK a world leader in dementia care and research, as part of his  “National Dementia Challenge”, by increasing the research budget to £66 million.

We are proud to have Dementia Action Alliance as a supporter.

Dementia Action Alliance is made up of over 100 organisations committed to transforming the quality of life of people living with dementia in the UK and the millions of people who care for them.

We are proud to announce The Alzheimer’s Society as an official supporter of the show.

We have just received a letter from the Prime Minister with a message of support. David Cameron said that dementia is a high priority issue for the Government and their challenge on dementia is designed to make a real difference to the lives of people with dementia, their families and carers. Exactly what we at The Alzheimer’s Show are aiming to achieve.

Professor Alistair Burns has very kindly agreed to support the event. He will also be a speaker in the main Alzheimer’s Matters Theatre.
