What matters to older people in Leeds?: 'Mobility and access needs to be considered when planning active travel and pedestrian zones'...There’s still time to have your say on plans to make it safer and easier to walk, wheel and cycle around the city centre @LeedsOPF

Excited/semi
Nervous to be taking our frailty education programme to a care home audience on Wednesday. I hope I pitch it right. I worked as a care assistant part time 24 years ago. It’s hard and lovely and needs to be paid and valued much much more

Wendy Mitchell is a much-valued member of the Young Dementia Network. She always speaks with honesty and clarity about her life with young onset #dementia, now she's speaking out about death and dying too. Wise words as ever from @WendyPMitchell.

“I don’t want other people to decide whether I can go for a walk, when I eat…I want to have the autonomy that I have now."
@WendyPMitchell, best-selling author and dementia campaigner, talks to @FiFiGlover about wanting autonomy over her own life and death.
