Sarah’s Story
Following a diagnosis of early-onset Alzheimer’s, Sarah (name changed) wanted support to maintain her independence and improve her health and wellbeing.
She was keen to stay active, build her confidence and continue enjoying everyday life.

Sarah received personalised one-to-one support to help her identify and work towards her health and wellbeing goals.

Sarah lost 7kg, became more physically active and gained confidence managing her daily life.
She also reconnected with friends and is now working towards an exciting personal goal of taking part in the Great North Run.
“Sessions felt easy and comfortable with no judgement. I looked forward to our meetings.”
