How much support does Effro provide?
Our group support sessions run once per week over a period of between five and 10 weeks. Each group session lasts approximately an hour and a half. The support we offer on an individual basis has no time limit – the amount of support we provide to individuals is reviewed on a regular basis by our case workers. On average, we provide two hours of support per week to each individual.
How can I show support for Effro?
One of the best ways to support our work is to become a volunteer and begin actively helping people living with dementia in your community. Alternatively you may wish to make a donation. Please get in touch for details on how to do this.
I think I or someone I know may have dementia – what should I do?
The most important thing is to not panic. Begin by making an appointment with your GP to discuss your concerns. They may then refer you on to a specialist memory clinic or similar service.
