No-One Should Have No-One

Today the very ‘glamorous’ Linda Booth and Brett Partington presented at the Loneliness & Social Isolation Symposium at Morphettville Racecourse’s Phar Lap Room.

We both put ourselves out there once again with our ‘heart on our sleeve’ speaking styles. There was a big crowd of 160 very receptive people.

‘Blinged Up’ Linda Booth was the hit of the day with her generous offer to give out free hugs to everyone in the room. (with a gentle push from me and a very big cardboard sign)

Thanks to the very innovative and professional Judith Gooden for inviting us to present. It was a fabulous opportunity to promote the benefits of ‘Dementia Downunder’ and share our stories about dementia to reduce loneliness and social isolation.

Congratulations to all the other fabulous presenters who gave up their time to speak today.

Welcome to all the brand new members who have joined ‘DD’ today from the Symposium.

Overall – a great initiative from SA Collaborative Projects.

PS – Thank you Linda for allocating me to receive above the regulation amount of your famous hugs.
