Dementia Carers Count episodes
- David & Terry (Every Small Step 2021)
David and Terry are two of our wonderful family carers that took part in Every Small Step last year. We loved listening to their conversation so much that we asked them to come back for Every Small Step 2021, and we were delighted when they accepted. If you didn't catch their conversation last year, you can watch the animation we made of it here.
Ambassadors for Dementia Carers Count, David and Terry are active in the dementia community, and they are passionate about sharing their stories to help other family carers get the support they need. In their new podcast episode, you'll get to hear David and Terry catch up on how things have changed for them over the pandemic while caring for their wives.

Trevor sits on our Carers Advisory Panel and is married to Yvonne who has young-onset Alzheimer’s and lives in a care home.
