Dementia Friends

19/10/2017

Last evening Members joined with a few guests to listen to an educational and informative talk on Dementia.
Dementia  like the big C is still a taboo subject and is never an easy subject to tackle. However, with the help of our speakers from the Alzheimer's Society we learned about living with Dementia and ways to support both those affected and their carers.
The Alzheimer's Society have launched a Dementia Friends Initiative where they are trying to create dementia-friendly communities and change the way people think, act, and talk about Dementia.
If you want to find out more why not go to their website and check it out and become a Dementia Friend too.

CPR

September saw two members of the St.John's Ambulance come and give us CPR training as part of the BBC Radio Lincolnshire Campaign.

One of the BBC team collapsed while out running and if it hadn't been for someone stopping and being able to help her she would have died.

So BBC Radio Lincolnshire set out with the help of Lives and the St John's Ambulance  to train 10,000 people in LIncolnshire to be able to do CPR. 
To date they have trained over 15,000 people in Lincolnshire to perform CPR, which is phenominal.

Scott Dalton from BBC Radio Lincolnshire attended the evening talking to the children and watched them learning CPR. BBC Radio Lincolnshire is running a campaign to try and get 10,000+ people in Lincolnshire trained in CPR after a staff member had collapsed in Lincoln and a bystander saved her life by doing CPR.

A bag full of Twiddle Mitts made their way to the Orthopaedic ward at our local hospital.
This is the second batch we have taken to them. They were very pleased with them. They get many elderly patients on the ward who  have dementia or become fretful after surgery after finding themselves in a strange surrounding. 
​The mitts give them comfort and something to toy with.

RNLI 'Joel and april grunnill'  lifeboat

We have two members of the Skegness RNLI come and give us a talk in March. It was days before they were receiving
their new lifeboat.
Yesterday I had the chance to go and take a look at her.

She just about squeezes into the boathouse and already she has been called out on 3 'shouts'.
I have to say she is beautiful, sitting elegantly on her tractor.
She has the ability of coming ashore herself where her tractor can then load her so she is ready to be relaunched at ease.
