Help Meeting Centres Scotland Raise Funds for a Life-Changing Journey

Meeting Centres Scotland is fundraising for the Walking the Talk for Dementia conference, where a team, including two individuals living with dementia, will participate in a 40km walk along the Camino de Santiago de Compostela.

At Meeting Centres Scotland, we are dedicated to providing support, care, and community for those living with dementia and their families. This year, we have an extraordinary opportunity to raise awareness and funds for our cause by participating in the Walking the Talk for Dementia conference. This unique event includes a 40km walk along the historic Camino de Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage route.

About the Walk
Walking the Talk for Dementia is not just a path but a journey of personal and collective significance. It symbolises the strength, resilience, and hope of those living with dementia and their loved ones. Four courageous individuals from Meeting Centres Scotland, including two people living with dementia, will be taking part in this journey. Their participation is a testament to the fact that life does not stop with a diagnosis—it continues to be lived fully and meaningfully.

Why We Need Your Support
This journey is more than a walk; it's a powerful statement of solidarity, hope, and awareness. To make this trip possible, we need to raise £10,000. These funds will cover travel expenses, accommodation, support resources, and equipment necessary for our team to participate safely and effectively in the walk.

The Impact of Your Donation
By supporting us, you are contributing to a broader movement of dementia awareness and advocacy. Your donation helps us demonstrate that with the right support, people living with dementia can continue to lead active, fulfilling lives. The visibility and awareness generated by our participation in Walking the Talk for Dementia will ripple outwards, inspiring others and reinforcing the importance of community and support.

Follow Our Journey
We invite you to follow our journey on social media and through our website. We will share updates, stories, and photos from the walk, highlighting our team's experiences and milestones. Your support means you are part of this journey, walking alongside us every step of the way.

Donate Now and help us Walk the Talk for Dementia. Together, we can make a difference!

Thank you for your generosity and support.

Warm regards,

The Meeting Centres Scotland Team

CognoSpeak™: Interviews with relatives/ caregivers of people with dementia

Are you a family member or caregiver of someone with dementia (or have been in the past)?

We invite you to take part in our study and share your views and experiences. This involves interviewing you to better understand:

Your experience getting a diagnosis for the person you care for (from spotting symptoms to going to the GP and hospitals)
The tests used in hospitals to diagnose and monitor the person you care for.
How did you share information with doctors to help get the right diagnosis, e,g, did you fill out a questionnaire?
Your opinion on artificial intelligence.
Your opinion on two new automatic assessment tools we're working on.

Your views will help guide a larger research project called CognoSpeak™. CognoSpeak™ uses a human-like image on a computer screen to ask patients about their health. It analyses their responses to find changes in speech, memory, and behaviour and then creates a report for doctors to help with diagnosis and treatment.

We aim to improve CognoSpeak™ by including a part for relatives and caregivers. This will ask you questions about the person you care for to get more information about their memory, behaviour, and daily activities. This will help us make CognoSpeak™ more accurate at detecting and diagnosing memory problems and dementia.

If interested, please email Miss Labhpreet Kaur at [email protected]. Your participation is valuable and will help improve future tools doctors use to diagnose and care for people with dementia.
