I became involved in Brighter Together because of my Grandad, who suffered from dementia. I saw firsthand the difference that it made to him when he was with my younger cousins or nieces and nephews, and want to help share this with others. Being able to work with such a dedicated and passionate team who are creating that difference is what keeps me coming back!
