Dementia Week

Sophie Sulehria focuses on dementia.

Do something new, is the message from dementia charities backing Dementia Awareness Week this week. On Shrink Wrapped we meet people with the condition who are doing just that. We hear from a group of people with early onset dementia who now meet for music therapy every week and a couple who've just started going to their local dementia cafe.
