Tim Loughton said: “I’ve signed up to show my support for Dementia Friends, and am encouraging people in East Worthing and Shoreham to do the same too. With a growing number of people living with dementia, it’s more important than ever we all have a better understanding of the condition.
“Dementia Friends is about giving people an understanding of dementia and the small things they can do that can make a difference to people living with dementia. From helping someone find the right bus to spreading the word about dementia, it can help make our community a better place to live.”
