Featured Today: Rob Wallace, Dementia Friends Ambassador
Robert (“Rob”) Wallace recently hosted another Dementia Friends session at CVS Clacton, inviting a further 12 volunteers to join the movement. Over the years, Rob has inspired approximately 1,500 Dementia Friends, delivering engaging sessions across community organisations, local government, hospitals, libraries, retailers, and businesses throughout our region.
His energy and dedication are helping to build a more dementia-friendly community—one person, one conversation, and one training session at a time.
“Every new Dementia Friend brings us one step closer to understanding, empathy, and meaningful support for people living with dementia,”
— Rob Wallace, Dementia Friends Ambassador
Stay tuned as we share more from Rob’s session and introduce the next voices in our Dementia Action Week series!
