In this powerful and heartfelt episode of Just Local, weâre joined by Councillor Rick Dellar, leader of Droitwich Town Council, to talk about something deeply personal - his familyâs journey with dementia, and how it's inspiring meaningful community change.
Rick shares the moving story of his fatherâs 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:
Running free dementia awareness training sessions
Launching the Herbert Protocol for carers

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.
