(as a carer),

As someone who cared for a partner who had dementia it felt at first as if people didn't listen to the carers. I became involved in mental health services for older people due to my caring role

I am proud to say we now have a service for people with working age dementia . It is a superb service, it was my intention to get the best and we did!

The people at the top are now listening to the carers
