Nationwide in Macclesfield will host free specialist face-to-face dementia clinics this week.

Hosted by Dementia UK's Admiral Nurses, the clinics are open to anyone impacted by dementia, offering life-changing support to families and individuals in the area.

The clinics will offer practical and emotional advice on all aspects of dementia – from worries about symptoms through to getting a diagnosis and understanding how the condition can progress. 

They take place at the Castle Street Nationwide branch on Tuesday December 2, Wednesday December 3 and Thursday December 4.

Sarah Cooper, Admiral Nurse at Dementia UK, said: "We're looking forward to returning to Macclesfield to offer support and advice to families affected by dementia in the area.

"Our clinic programme, in partnership with Nationwide Building Society, has now been running for over a year which has enabled us to reach thousands of people across the country who need the support of a dementia specialist Admiral Nurse."

Charlotte Kensett, director of customer experience and social impact for Nationwide, said: "Dementia impacts millions of families and that's why we're incredibly proud to have brought life-changing support into 200 of our branches and helped more than 30,000 people through our partnership with Dementia UK.

"As a mutual we believe we have a role to play in strengthening the communities we serve and supporting those most in need.
