Dementia specialist Admiral Nurses will host a clinic at Nationwide’s Walthamstow branch to offer tailored support and guidance to anyone affected by the condition.
Nationwide and Dementia UK’s free face-to-face clinics are returning to Nationwide’s Walthamstow branch, offering specialist support in a safe, comfortable and private space for people to discuss any aspect of dementia.
The clinics will offer practical and emotional advice on all aspects of dementia – from worries about memory problems, understanding a diagnosis and how the condition can progress to help with financial and legal issues.
They will take place on the 22nd, 23rd and 24th July, and appointments can be booked via Dementia UK’s website here.
Ruby Guild, admiral nurse at Dementia UK, said: “We’re looking forward to visiting Walthamstow. Nationwide branches offer a safe and private space for people to access specialist support for dementia, and the Fairer Futures partnership is helping us bring face-to-face support to people in a familiar location.”
Debbie Crosbie, chief executive officer of Nationwide, said: “Nationwide wants to help people live their best life possible, for as long as possible. By working with Dementia UK to fund more Admiral Nurses and turning our branches into dementia clinics, we’re helping to tackle the country’s leading cause of death. As a mutual, we work for the good of society as well as our members. We believe this and Nationwide Fairer Futures will change hundreds of thousands of lives for the better.”
The Walthamstow clinics are part of Nationwide’s social impact programme, Fairer Futures, which addresses four of the UK’s biggest social issues through charity partnerships – family poverty (Action for Children), youth homelessness (Centrepoint), dementia (Dementia UK) and cancer (The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity).
Nationwide is funding 30 dementia specialist Admiral Nurses and will have hosted free dementia support clinics in 200 branches across the country by the end of the summer.
