Did you know there are many forms of Dementia?
Our podcast hosts and Memory Cafe Network Wayfinders Anna & Jules talk to Newquay Purple Angels Ambassador Lynn Bartrip-Kay as she speaks passionately about the Purple Angels and their mission to create a dementia-aware community through workshops and awareness sessions.
Lynn works tirelessly to spread awareness of the disease, frequently operating dementia awareness workshops in Cornwall for businesses and everyone that wants to come along. Lynn talks about her own experience with having loved ones with dementia, she reads an extremely poignant poem about the illness and the power of music for people with memory loss, and how above all else, music can bring back some memories and emotions.
Purple Angels was co-founded by Norman McNamara a resident of Torbay, Devon, UK who was diagnosed with dementia at only 50 years of age. Whilst out shopping one day he was rudely spoken to by a shopkeeper and decided to change the way people see dementia and treat others. The organisation has now grown to operate globally with over 1000 ambassadors!
