TWO lawyers at North and East Yorkshire law firm, Harrowells Solicitors have joined an initiative to make York a Dementia-Friendly Community.

Solicitors Sally Inston and Dawn Moore of York-based Harrowells have trained to become Alzheimer’s Society Dementia Champions so they can provide free information sessions to spread awareness of the condition and its impact on individuals and their families.

The two specialise in legal services to the elderly, including wills, powers of attorney, Court of Protection and care fees advice, and regularly come into contact with people living with dementia, their carers and families.
