Nationwide is set to host free, face-to-face clinics for families affected by dementia.

Dementia specialist Admiral Nurses will hold one at Nationwide's Winchester branch.

This initiative is part of Nationwide and Dementia UK's joint effort to provide life-changing support and guidance to those impacted by the condition.

The clinics will offer practical and emotional advice on all aspects of dementia, including concerns about memory issues, understanding a diagnosis, and financial and legal matters.

Appointments can be booked via Dementia UK's website.

The initiative aims to help 100,000 people affected by dementia.

Sarah Priestley, Admiral Nurse at Dementia UK, said: "We’re looking forward to bringing specialist face-to-face support for people affected by dementia to Winchester.

"Dementia is a huge and growing health crisis – someone in the UK develops dementia every three minutes and the condition is the leading cause of death in England and Wales."

Debbie Crosbie, chief executive officer of Nationwide, said: "By working with Dementia UK to fund more Admiral Nurses and turning our branches into dementia clinics, we’re helping to tackle the country’s leading cause of death."

The pop-up clinics at Winchester, 127 High Street, will be held on October 8, 9, and 10.
