Dementia is the biggest health and social challenge of our time with it being estimated that around 900,000 people in the UK have dementia.

Many are undiagnosed and facing the realities of their condition alone. The society hopes to change this with the help of their supporters.

Assistant branch Manager, Alister Cole, said: "I'm surprised at how the team have embraced it. I've got two young salesmen who have only started in the last six months and the interest they have generated and the effort they have put in has blown us all away."
