Raising thousands on Moonlight walk
A royal opening of new hub BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk VISITORS to a brand new dementia hub in Chichester were invited to a special opening ceremony on Tuesday. HRH Countess of Wessex officially opened charity, Dementia Support's Sage House in Tangmere. Her Royal Highness was accompanied
by Susan Pyper, Lord Lieutenant of West Sussex, and greeted on arrival by several guests including Chichester MP Gillian Keegan. Mrs Keegan said: "Once again, Chichester is the leader in this kind of service and it makes you very proud to be part of the community. "Every single one of us has had somebody that we know that has been affected by dementia.
"In my case, it was both of my grandmothers who have been diagnosed with dementia and one just recently died, in January this year. "This kind of support for my parents, both of whom had a parent who suffered from dementia, would have been fabulous. "I can only imagine how much help this is going to be for any family that have anybody who is touched by dementia

which, let's face it, most of us will be at some point. "I'm also looking forward, very much to the education in the community to try and make this more of a dementiafriendly city. That is something to aspire to. Somewhere where all of us understand how to help people with dementia for longer in the community, I would be very supportive of that." Turn to page eleven
