Welcoming Sandra to the team
It’s time to say goodbye to one of our Community Pathfinders – and hello to a friendly new face.
Karen Allen, who has been with Kingfisher Buddies since its launch, is moving on to pastures new and we are welcoming Sandra Graham to the team.
As well as offering information, advice and guidance to people with dementia and their carers, our Community Pathfinders are also able to introduce clients to activities and services in the community that can meet their needs, from community exercise groups and lunch clubs to carer support services and Agewell’s Kingfisher Buddies groups.
Sandra has been seconded to Agewell three days a week from her job as Resources Co-ordinator for partner organisation, Dementia Pathfinders.
Sandra, who has personal experience of caring for a loved one with dementia, says: “I’ve worked for organisations involved in supporting people with dementia since 2005 and it is very much a passion of mine. “I’m already really enjoying getting out and meeting people and helping them to find ways of reducing the social isolation that can come with a diagnosis of dementia.”
