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

The clinics, run by dementia specialist Admiral Nurses, will offer tailored support and guidance to anyone impacted by the condition.

This initiative is part of a collaboration between Nationwide and Dementia UK to bring specialist dementia care to Wales.

The clinics will provide practical and emotional advice on all aspects of dementia, including concerns about memory problems, understanding a diagnosis, the progression of the condition, and assistance with financial and legal issues.

Appointments can be booked on Dementia UK's website.

Nationwide branches will serve as safe, comfortable, and private spaces for families to discuss any aspect of dementia.

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

As part of the partnership, Nationwide will host 200 pop-up clinics in branches across the UK and fund 30 dementia specialist Admiral Nurse posts through Dementia UK.

The clinics are part of Nationwide's new social impact programme, Fairer Futures, which addresses three of the UK's biggest social issues through charity partnerships: dementia (Dementia UK), youth homelessness (Centrepoint), and family poverty (Action for Children).

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 Aberystwyth and Wrexham.

"By partnering with Nationwide, we are able to provide a safe space in towns across the county to ensure our Admiral Nurses are able to reach as many people affected by the condition as possible.

"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.

"It’s more important than ever that we reach families and individuals affected by dementia and offer one-on-one support from our dementia specialist Admiral Nurses."

The clinics will be held at the Wrexham branch on Regent Street on December 3, 4, and 5

Debbie Crosbie, chief executive officer of Nationwide, said: "Nationwide wants to help people live their best life possible, for as long as possible.

"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.

"As a mutual, we work for the good of society as well as our members.

"We believe this and Nationwide Fairer Futures will change hundreds of thousands of lives for the better."
