SYEP Talks
Sandra Hughes from the Dementia Friends and Dementia Café in Sprowston
Welcome to episode 11 where we interview Sandra Hughes about her work around dementia support for people living with dementia and their families. Here's Sandra's Bio -
Sandra Hughes
Volunteers with the Alzheimers Society as a Dementia Friends Ambassador. I deliver Dementia Friends Information Sessions to members of the public to groups/businesses or families who are interested in learning more about living with the symptoms of dementia/memory loss, and how they can be supported in the community.
I also volunteer at Dementia Cafés which provide a safe and supportive environment for individuals, families and carers who are affected by the disease.
If anyone near the NR7 area would like a free face-to-face session then I am very happy to come along, or alternatively you can visit the Dementia Friends website and watch a short video.
My email address is
