As a member of the Labour Party,
I must try to contribute to the agenda
Of raising awareness of the importance of
music and the Arts among parliamentarians.

The need for more support of music and the arts
In benefiting the life’s of
those with dementia and their carers.etc.

I never got to meet DrDr (😊)Wendy Mitchell, but since starting my new job Arts for Dementia she has been a presence - her thoughtful books and her honest blog provided a unique insight and helped me understand some of her challenges and joys. Do read them if you haven't yet.

A really sad day for so many of us who were informed and inspired by DrDr (😊)Wendy Mitchell and how she thoughtfully articulated and shared her experiences with dementia. If you haven't read her books, please do. As Wendy says: 'I’ve always given people hope, or I like to think so.'
