“We have also recently launched our Dementia Supporter Awareness Training for the workplace, so this will provide another platform for us to share the great work we do in the community as well as supporting local businesses and employees who are living with or caring for someone living with dementia.

"We’re also grateful to be sponsored by Winchester Corporate Finance, with an introduction from Hilary Lewis, marketing manager.”

Dementia Support has been chosen as Goodwood’s charity of choice for 2023 and 2024. As part of this Goodwood is supporting this initiative.

The Duke of Richmond said: “Our aim is to help transform the lives of as many people as possible living with dementia.

"Research carried out into the provision of dementia services locally, suggests that assistance is fragmented and that significant benefits could be derived from further funding.
