Welcome!! πŸ₯³πŸ€©
Former Newcastle United star Joe Allon ⚽️starts new role with Dementia Matters

"I am delighted to be coming on board as an ambassador for such a wonderful charity," Allon told me. "My parents both suffered with dementia so it is close to my heart. I look forward to helping raise funds and awareness. "

Dementia Matters was set up as a registered charity in 1993 to provide services for people with dementia and their carers. Though their name has changed, the goal remains the same: to provide a voice for those living with dementia, and provide family centred services for those who need our support.
