New admiral nurses will support carers in Armed Forces
A UNIQUE service to support the carers of those with dementia within the Armed Forces community is to be launched in Walsall.
The Royal British Legion, in partnership with Dementia UK, is looking to recruit three Admiral Nurses in the borough ahead of the initiative’s launch later this spring.
Specially trained in dementia care, the Legion’s Admiral Nurse Service will support the carers of those with dementia within the Armed Forces community, providing them with information, support and practical help.

Harrogate carers raise a cracking amount!
Marks… egg set… go! Harrogate charity raises cracking amount
A CHARITY based in Harrogate and Ripon has crowned its latest fund-raising campaign by marking the forthcoming Diamond Jubilee in an unusual way.
Every Easter, the Carers Resource team up with Cadbury’s to knit Easter chick covers for the chocolate giant’s famed crème eggs.
This year, a team of volunteers knitted 1,500 covers – raising a ‘cracking’ amount of money to help fund the support and advice it offers to the district’s growing number of carers.
