Helpcards to maintain independence when out and about

[HarrietD]

Our helpcards are for people with dementia to use and carry with them, to make it easier to get assistance when they're out in the community. They are the size of a credit card and can fit into a wallet or card holder. They are a great tool to help a person with dementia to maintain their independence.

In this latest version:

• The helpcards are slightly smaller so that they fit better into a standard card holder.
• The fold-out helpcards now have room to include two contacts instead of one.
• The colour of the helpcards has been changed to bright blue to make them easier to find and more identifiable as a tool provided by Alzheimer's Society.

All of these changes were suggested by people affected by dementia.
