Graham Stuart MP will mark World Alzheimer’s Day on Monday when he attends the East Riding Dementia Action Alliance celebration event at St Mary’s Church Parish Hall in Beverley.
Graham will present certificates to organisations in recognition of their work with the Dementia Action Alliance to become dementia friendly.
The East Riding Dementia Action Alliance aims to support communities and businesses located or operating within the East Riding of Yorkshire to take low cost actions that enable people with dementia to be active and involved.
Graham said;
“The Dementia Action Alliance is doing tremendous work in the East Riding to support people living with dementia. This is a condition that affects 850,000 people across the UK and it’s great that the Dementia Action Alliance is working with businesses and institutions to ensure dementia sufferers can continue to lead a full life.
“World Alzheimer’s Day represents a valuable opportunity to celebrate the progress that is being made and the hard work that is being put in. I want to congratulate all those receiving certificates on their work to create a more dementia friendly society.”
