And this is why it remains such a tactical framing error to repeatedly say unpaid carers 'save' the State £billions or that they are the 'bedrock' of the 'social care system'. They are people being abandoned and exploited at huge personal cost. It's nothing to celebrate.

Exactly this_ a strong welfare system used by everyone is part of the glue that binds us. Perfectly put by Sadiq Khan

Flourishing - what matters most to people and what makes people matter most.
Not on ‘what do you need’, but on being needed.
Not on what’s missing and what is or could go wrong, but on what is present and what is possible and what is strong. rewritingsocialcare.blog/2024/03/30/flo…

“The ad is too blunt and too bleak to achieve its objective of increasing public awareness: people need to be told the truth but also to be offered a little hope to avoid increasing a sense of fatalism….. “ theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Powerful critique from an eminent Alzheimer’s Society Ambassador with lived experience of dementia

BRILLIANT especially for these troubled times.

Please read our statement in response to the Alzheimer’s Society’s damaging campaign.

A profound, wise and compassionate response to the current controversy.

Thank you to Scotland for their compassionate wisdom

Willy Gilder Alzheimer's Society Page 22 of their guide even tells them exactly not to do what they’ve done!

Brilliant commentary by George Rook Please read. Dear Alzheimer’s Society | george rook georgerook51.wordpress.com/2024/03/24/dea…

To anyone emotionally affected by the awful Alzheimer's Society advert; I introduce my great Grandma, 96 years young and living with #Dementia . Yes at times she forgets and gets anxious, down, frustrated etc. But she very much lives and we haven’t ‘lost’ her. No eulogy here thanks 😊

Alzheimer's Society has released a new video today. Gail expresses her feelings in unequivocal terms. - Dementia Diaries dementiadiaries.org/entry/22320/al…

Thank you to you and your mum.
