Connect for Life Celebrates Finalist Recognition at National Dementia Care Awards
Connect for Life is thrilled to announce that we were finalists in the 14th National Dementia Care Awards! Although we didn’t take home the top prize this year, the experience was both rewarding and inspiring for our team. Alison and Frances had the opportunity to attend the presentation in Sheffield, where they engaged with leaders from various organizations dedicated to improving dementia care.
The event was a fantastic platform for sharing ideas and learning about innovative practices in the field. Alison and Frances left feeling energized and motivated, bringing back valuable insights to enhance our services. Thank you to everyone who supports our mission; together, we continue to make a positive impact in the lives of those affected by dementia.
