Alzheimer's Protest Against the Lack of Care

A protest held on June 20th 2008 to stress the lack of care and financial support for people with dementia.

Actor Kevin Whately and MP George Galloway also attended.



Dementia occurs when the brain is affected by specific diseases or conditions. The most common form is Alzheimer's disease. Other types include vascular dementia and dementia with Lewy bodies. As the condition gets worse, people need help, support and care. Services are not properly funded and some people are forced to sell their homes to get the help they need.
