The plan will teach people how to make life easier for those suffering with the condition during a time where support can be difficult to access due to the Covid restrictions.

High Sheriff of Cumbria Julie Barton wrote on Facebook: "Dignity In Dementia is busy in lockdown three, supporting people with dementia and their family carers. I think their invaluable work is summed up beautifully by one family carer who wrote, 'Thank you for helping mum and I find each other again'."
