Ingatestone High Street goes blue

It’s not called getting old.

Dementia Action Week is a national event that sees the UK public and businesses taking action to improve the lives of people affected by dementia. This year, the week took place on 15th - 22nd May and its push was about not getting old, but getting ill.

Ingatestone & Fryerning are dementia friendly villages and along Ingatestone High Street the shops took part by showing something “blue” in their window as a symbol that they supported the Alzheimer’s charity and to show people affected by dementia that they are not alone.

Below are just a few pictures along the High Street, showing an antique blue vase, blue dresses, blue flowers, blue bunting and even blue dog products! As you can see the shops went blue.
