Welcome to the Every Small Step Podcast from Dementia Carers Count, our virtual annual conference. This year, we're celebrating the lives and contributions of the dementia carer community.

Claire Good Child is the Chief Executive of Dementia Carers Count, having joined the charity in 2015. She has a background in social work, specialising in working with people living with dementia. Today she gives us an insight into the achievements of the charity over the last 12 months. 

This week, we will take small steps to support the brilliant work of friends and family caring for those with dementia across the country. Every day, we'll share an episode from a series of talks from public figures through to young carers, we want to share the stories of some of the incredible people caring for those with dementia. Walk with us and listen to their stories.

There are 700,000 people in the UK who are caring for a friend or family member with dementia. We invite you to take your own small steps and walk with us, as we take a step for every family dementia carer.
