🚨Announcement 🚨We're delighted to have secured #NationalLottery funding from The National Lottery Community Fund for 12 months, to deliver our Bereavement Friendship project to communities in #StokeonTrent and #Staffordshire providing one to one telephone support and peer support led community groups.
Last year marked 25 years of BJF delivering Dementia Advocacy in #StokeonTrent and #NorthStaffordshire .
To say we're proud of all we've achived, and honoured support people living with dementia to get their voices heard, is an understatement.
