An author and campaigner on a mission to create a more dementia-inclusive society is set to visit Guernsey next month.
Ian Donaghy, known as Big Ian, has written various books including Dear Dementia: The Laughter and Tears and works to raise dementia awareness, improve care and combat loneliness.
"I want people to walk away feeling more connected, more empowered, and more determined to bring about real change in how we support those living with dementia and their families," he said.
The event has been organised by charity Dementia Friendly Guernsey, which aims to improve the quality of life for those who have dementia.
'Laugh, cry, act'
"Dementia isn't just a medical condition, it's a human one," said Mr Donaghy.
Dr Louise Bennett has worked in dementia care for 20 years and attended one of his talks in the UK.
"No-one has ever made me feel as seen and understood as Ian did. He gets it," she said.
Care home manager Rachel M said Mr Donaghy was a "game changer" in dementia education, adding he had "the rare ability to make you laugh, cry, and act".
