In this powerful and heartfelt episode of Just Local, we’re joined by Councillor Rick Dellar, leader of Droitwich Town Council, to talk about something deeply personal - his family’s journey with dementia, and how it's inspiring meaningful community change.

Rick shares the moving story of his father’s Alzheimer's diagnosis and the impact it's had on his family. But more importantly, he explains how that experience has sparked a grassroots campaign to make Droitwich Spa a dementia-aware town.

Learn how Rick and local partners like Droitwich CVS are:

1. Running free dementia awareness training sessions

2. Launching the Herbert Protocol for carers

3. Supporting local businesses to become dementia friendly

4. Building a stronger, more inclusive community

Rick also speaks about the amazing work of the Wychbold & Droitwich Baby Bank, helping over 400 children since 2023 with free essential items.

Whether you're a resident, carer, shop owner or local leader, this episode is a must-watch for anyone who wants to be part of a more caring, connected and informed Worcestershire.
