“I can’t write well now. I can read, a book, a paper; my eyes are healthy; but if I try to write I struggle with phonetics or I can’t spell. Finding the right words and getting them in the right order is hard.”

“I find it difficult to tell the time. If I have to be at a meeting and need to think about the timings, it’s very difficult.”

“I like the Dementia Diaries website, it’s very clear what the project is about. Photos show we are real people, of all ages, still able to contribute in society.”

“This will be a platform for getting the right voices out there. A platform to educate.”

“One word can make a difference”

“We need to have open conversations to get rid of hype, myth and bad press”

“This will be a platform for getting the right voices out there. A platform to educate.”
