Charity acts as antidote to isolation of carers
Do you care for someone with dementia and feel afraid?
People who love and look after someone with dementia can feel just as frightened, vulnerable and uncertain as the person they care for, and are often elderly and infirm themselves.
Daybreak is a speciali st charity offering stimulation and support for people living with dementia and memory loss, as well as respite for their carers.
Daybreak helps people to live with dementia by working alongside families, professional help and other support to maintain the best quality of life for that person.

Tea Party to celebrate
Tea at Ardington Hotel for West Sussex Headway
A TEA party celebrated the hard work of carers for people with head injuries.
West Sussex Headway, which has offered “priceless support” to service users and carers alike across the county, held its tea party at The Ardington Hotel, in Steyne Gardens, Worthing.
Pete Sangster is a volunteer for Headway, and his wife, Gwyn, now runs the support group after suffering a brain injury in 2003 and using the charity’s services.
Pete, 63, started volunteering for the group seven years ago, and said: “Gwyn had two brain haemorrhages in September, 2003.
“She did not know who I was for three weeks.
