If I Get Dementia - A poem by Martin Wells
We at Unite Carers would like to share with you a poem written by our friend Martin Wells – If I Get Dementia. Martin lives locally and writes from the perspective of someone living with dementia. I think you’ll all agree that his words are emotive, beautifully poignant and certainly powerful.
Thank you Martin for agreeing to share your words with us.
Volunteering
