Exciting news! Our Dementia Hero Awards, sponsored by Tunstall Healthcare, will be underway very soon at the The Grand Hotel Birmingham with host Marverine Cole (TVMarv on IG & BlueSky). Follow us to see who wins an award that honours those who do life-changing work with, and for, people living with dementia.

We’re welcoming to the stage, two of our ambassadors Joy Watson and Hilary Doxford, as well as Chris Maddocks, who is a lived experience trustee. The trio has been involved in decision-making about the awards and will be answering questions about their experience with dementia.

Winners of the #DementiaHeroAward for Media Impact (national) are Claire Kendall, Jeremy Cooke and stephen fildes from the BBC. The trio work tirelessly and fastidiously to bring issues affecting a broad spectrum of people to the attention of as wide an audience as possible.
