Scotland’s First Minister, Alex Salmond MSP, today praised the work of the Scottish Dementia Working Group when he met with them to discuss the ways in which they had been supported by Comic Relief.
Agnes Houston, Pat McGonigal, James McKillop and Edward McLaughlin, along with National Co-ordinator Martin Sewell and Chief Executive of Alzheimer Scotland Henry Simmons were filmed with the First Minister as part of a montage to be shown on Comic Relief this Friday night.
The SDWG is jointly funded by Comic Relief and Alzheimer Scotland. In 2008, Comic Relief awarded the group £60,000 per annum for three years.
