May & Ana attended The Ultimate Business Breakfast with @sussexchamber on Friday. It was great to network with other services and businesses in one space.
@eastbourneholdingspace and @mankind_cic gave inspiring talks about their amazing services and how important it is to look after yourself and your mental health.π

We had a great time celebrating our 6th year as a service with everyone that came out to see us! We are so grateful to be able to support carers and those living with Dementia in East Sussex. We can't wait to see what the future holds.π«
We ran our usual session of Singing Down Memory Lane in the morning and headed straight into the party in the afternoon so the cake and snacks were needed!π°ππ
We owe a HUGE thank you to everyone who supported us with food, drinks, donations and volunteering to make the event such a success. We also had a special four legged guest join us which made everyone smileπ΄π
Wow, what a day! π₯³ Just a snippet of yesterday as we celebrated our 6th Birthday as a service. We are utterly overwhelmed with the support we have been shown yesterday and throughout the last six years. THANK YOU!
More photos and videos to come next week π

We have big news and as it's #internationalwomensday we thought it would be a good time to announce!π
We have recently been awarded a grant from @tnlcommunityfund to fund another member of staff for a year, making us now a team of four!
We have hired the lovely Ana, who some of you may of met already. She has lots of experience caring and supporting people living with Dementia and adults with learning disabilities. Ana is helping us behind the scenes but also at our groups and courses to keep our service running smoothly.
Today we celebrate the achievements of Women worldwide π What better day to introduce the newest member of our team than National Women's Day! DISC is run and supported by the women of East Sussex, we are very proud of both our work and the hard work we see in others every day and as we approach our 6th Birthday as a service, we are filled with excitement for what the future holds for our service and clients alike.π

We spent a great afternoon delivering training to the wonderful staff at @stwhospice recently. We were looking at communicating with people living with Dementia and how we can support them right through to the end of their Dementia journey.
We asked the staff to complete tasks with ear defenders on, large gloves, our goggles on a mat with distracting patterns. The sensory depriving accessories gave the staff an insight into how tasks that appear simple can be made difficult if you are living with Dementia.
If you would like to benefit from our professional training please don't hesitate to get in contact with us at admin@discdementiasupport.org π

As we start 2024 we have reflected on how far DISC has come in the last 6 years.
We have become a team of 3 (hopefully 4 in the future!).
We currently support well over 700 unpaid carers in East Sussex.
We now have 8 monthly support groups around East Sussex.
We run 20 Carer Information Courses per year.
We run 3 activity groups per month.
While also supporting carers on a 1to1 basis inbetween providing Professional, Dementia Awareness and DISC Dementia Guide training for businesses.
If you would like to chat to us about how you could help in anyway, feel free to reach outπ
Every little helps!π

We have been made aware that some charities and non-profit organisations are fundraising in East Sussex although they do not provide support in this area.
They are often found in town centres and supermarkets.
This stops vital funds from being donated local charities and non – profit organisations, limiting their crucial services.
The above are some simple questions you can ask to make sure you know that your money is being spent honestly and in your area.
A telltale sign is when a paid fundraiser is being used, they are employed (often across county lines) to fundraise with little training or knowledge of the services provided locally.
This is a time of giving and we absolutely encourage contributions to your chosen organisations – we know that big or small, they all make a huge difference. Just be sure to protect yourself and know where your money is going.
