The Wire

This week is Dementia Action Week.

A report from Dementia Australia estimates over 400-thousand people live with dementia across the country with over 1-point-6 million people involved in the care of someone with the brain condition.

While there are support groups available to those affected by dementia, maintaining connections with the wider community remains a major hurdle.

However, the Alchemy chorus in Canberra offers people living with dementia and their carers a space to share and support each other.
