Update from 10th June 2020
Wow …. we made it to Level One! As we look around the world we have so much to be thankful for. As one of only six countries that have gone though Covid-19 and declared themselves free of the virus we can be grateful that we are not still under lock down conditions and that as a nation we were not worse hit. That said, Covid-19 has left us all with a great deal of repair and recovery work to do together as we reel from the affects of lock down. Maybe the lockdown has enhanced dementia symptoms, or you have realised you need more support. Please know that you are not alone, we are hearing from many who feel that their circumstances have changed over this period and we are here to help, so please get in touch.
Services
Level one means that we return to normal services. If you are unsure of any details please get in touch with one of our community advisors.
Community Advisors
Our Community Advisors have not stopped right the way through the lock down. They are now back in the offices and out on the road making home visits and face to face meetings. If you need them please don’t hesitate to call.
Support Groups
Are back up and running contact your nearest office for the next dates.
Day Programmes
Many of the day programmes are up and running and are in full swing. Get in touch if you would like to find out about your group.
Your Stories
We would love to hear and share your lock down stories. Would you be willing to put pen to paper or fingers to keyboard to share what helped you to get through and what really challenged you? It would be a great way for us all to reflect on this unique experience and the process of writing and of sharing may help you and others to feel connected.
If you would like to give your story contact Hannah by filling in our contact form or calling 021 174 9760
Contact Details
We anticipate that many of you will be keen to get in touch with our Community Advisors to set up meetings and get the latest on support groups. We have popped their contact details in one easy spot for you to find. Our offices are still not open until alert level two so please note that you will need to use the mobile phone numbers and email addresses.
