My experience on the Virtual Dementia…
My experience on the Virtual Dementia Tour Bus was an experience out of this world which I think that every human being should experience. It gives you a whole new outlook on how people with dementia see, hear and act and as to why they do the things they do.
The talk/presentation afterwards was also exceptional. The whole experience can be described as - ' Wow ! ' and ' mind blowing '. I would definitely recommend everyone to go on it and would love to experience it again if given the opportunity.

Hello, thank you for leaving your review, I hope you have enjoyed using the card and found lots of benefits.
Fantastic service
Fantastic service, received my carers card and landyard within three days instead of 10 just in time to take the cared for to Mexican night party outdoors, only allowed 2 tickets per household but due to the fact I’m a carer and can prove it can get one extra for the cared for and at least can wear my carers card to prove I’m a carer and not be questioned. Poor young man really excited as been locked up for nearly a year because he was vulnerable. Thank you.
