Available as a paperback from our Charity Shop in the High Street, to purchase online from our new website, or as an e-book downloadable from Amazon, 'A Kid’s Guide to Dementia' is the culmination of 2 years of work for Tegan.

‘A Kid’s Guide to Dementia’ is primarily for 8-11-year-olds to help them understand what to expect when someone they are close to develops Dementia, however, adults new to Dementia can also find it very useful. The book, which Tegan began researching when she was 16, has already received glowing reviews from children and adults alike who found it a simple, fun and informative way to understand Dementia.

The book is a part of the new Youth Initiative ‘ADS’ is developing to educate young people about Dementia. This exciting new initiative is aimed at identifying and extending our current support network to an ever-growing number of young Carers in our community. We will keep you updated through our newsletters, website and social media.
