How Frustrated Communication found these Alzheimer's Support Groups -
The mother of our trustee and founder, Pat Bays, suffered from Alzheimer's disease and in the process of
caring for her we found both the Huntingdon and Templeton Centres and found what an invaluable service they provide.
Our support for Alzheimer's support groups will not be limited, in future, to these branches but we felt it was
important to support those we know have provided an excellent service.
How Frustrated Communication has helped:
In 2009, 2010 and 2011 we have provided funds to enable the Templeton Centre to produce and circulate their
News Letter to help communicate with and help those with, and those who care for people with, dementia.
In 2010 we also provided funds to the Huntingdon Support Group for the same purpose.
Feedback on the resources provided by Frustrated Communication
Linda Matthews, Support Services Manager at the Templeton Centre tells us:
"A local newsletter is vital to inform readers about local issues and concerns, any changes in the care field,
dates of meetings and forthcoming events, in addition to all the regular information regarding our services.
"Most importantly our readers tell us that a newsletter helps them to realise that they are not alone."
