Anyone affected by someone in the family with dementia can get advice and help with free clinics being held in Hackney and Walthamstow during March.

The clinics are at branches of Nationwide building society and run by the Dementia UK charity’s Admiral Nurses.  

They give practical and emotional advice and support for those with the condition and their families.

“The clinics offer a private space for people to get help,” Admiral Nurse Ruby Guild said. “Our partnership with Nationwide is helping bring face-to-face support in a familiar location.” 

Advice includes financial and legal issues as well as dealing with worries about memory problems, diagnosis and how the condition can progress. 

The clinics are at the Hackney Nationwide branch at 374 Mare Street on March 11, 12 and 13, and at the Walthamstow branch at 179-81 Walthamstow High Street on March 25, 26 and 27. Appointments can be booked on Dementia UK’s website.
