The Alzheimer Society of Ireland (The ASI) proudly marks Pride month in support of LGBTQIA+ friends, colleagues, supporters and people affected by dementia and their loved ones. On 24 June, ASI staff and supporters joined thousands of people to march in the Dublin Pride Parade, led by members of The ASI’s LGBT+ Pilot Group. The LGBT+ Pilot Group is a group of ASI Staff who help to identify and shape workplace practices that can be made to better support LGBT+ people living with dementia. It was a day of joy and inclusivity as a rainbow of colours filled the streets of Dublin. This was the first year that the charity took part in the Dublin Pride Parade. On 13 June, the DemTalks Podcast; Series One, the Dementia Carers Campaign Network (DCCN) launched, featuring a panel discussion on Caring in the LGBT+ community. The first episode of the podcast is also dedicated to Caring in the LGBTQ+ Community. The DCCN, supported by The ASI, is an advocacy group of people who have experience caring for a loved one with dementia. The podcast is proudly sponsored by Hidden Hearing. The ASI is here for everyone affected by dementia.
