Dementia survey

Alicia Kearns MP held a stand at Uppingham Market ahead of the launch of 'Rutland's Great Dementia Conversation.'

Alicia Kearns, Member of Parliament for Rutland and Melton, said:

"With one person in the UK being diagnosed with dementia every three minutes, it is so important that we make our communities as supportive and dementia friendly as possible for all those living with dementia, or caring for a loved one with the condition.
