A project to empower those suffering from dementia is recruiting volunteers.
With a waiting list of fifty-five clients, The Alzheimer's Society needs to boost volunteers for its Side By Side program

And the program links a volunteer with an early onset sufferer, so that they can carry on doing what they enjoy in a community setting.
Gabriel Bradley has been volunteering with the project since last year and was first paired up with a music lover:
