Welcome!

Hello and welcome to the project 'I'll Always Be My Mother's Daughter', this is a blog that aims to raise awareness around the impact dementia has on relationships. 

The Alzheimer's society have recently published that there are around 850,000 people in the UK with Dementia, two thirds of which are female. 

Many features in the past have highlighted and focused on the 'challenging behavior' associated with someone who is living with Dementia, however this feature is set to turn the tables.

'I'll Always Be My Mother's Daughter' is a Multimedia Project that will focus heavily on the impact dementia has on the mother and daughter relationship in hand, and dig deep into the many obstacles they face as the disease develops. 

This project aims to inspire and inform the readers about the stories of real women. Along the journey this blog will keep you updated and tell you the story of different mother and daughter's.

We are currently seeking mother and daughter case studies and experts in the field of dementia and Alzheimer, please get in touch if you could help.
