Celebrating Dogs for Good Grant 

Dementia is a syndrome associated with the decline of brain functions. Dementia is not a single disease; it is an overall term. Disorders grouped under the general term ‘Dementia’, are caused by abnormal brain changes. These changes trigger a decline in thinking skills, known as cognitive abilities, severe enough to impair daily life and independent function. They also affect behaviour, feelings and relationships. Research shows there are more than 850,000 people in the UK who have dementia. The symptoms of dementia usually become worse over time as it is a progressive illness. In the late stage of dementia, people will not be able to take care of themselves and may require extra support and care. ​
