The second ‘forget–me–not’ walk takes place on Sunday 11 September 2011 at Whitlingham Great Broad. The three–mile ramble organised by Norfolk Admirals aims to raise awareness of dementia and its impact on sufferers, carers and families.
The money raised will also help to kick–start an Admiral Nurse service in Norfolk and Waveney.
Walkers are asked to arrive at the Whitlingham Visitor Centre by 9.30am for a 10am start of a gentle walk around Whitlingham Great Broad.

Dementia UK and Admiral Nursing services
Dementia UK works together with NHS providers and commissioners, social care authorities and the voluntary sector to promote and develop new Admiral Nursing services.
Admiral Nurses work with family carers and people with dementia, in the community and other settings. Working with other professionals, Admiral Nurses seek to improve the quality of life for people with dementia and their carers. They use a range of interventions that help people live with the condition and develop skills to improve communication and maintain relationships.
Established as a result of the experiences of family carers, Admiral Nurses are named after Joseph Levy who had vascular dementia and was known as Admiral Joe because of his keen interest in sailing.
