You and Yours

Available for over a year

A year ago the Prime Minister announced his intention to improve diagnosis and treatment of dementia, and find a cure by 2025. Today on You & Yours we hear from World Dementia Envoy, Dr Dennis Gillings, who has been charged with making that happen. Plus we speak to hear from Alzheimer's Society Ambassador, Keith Oliver, about his experience with the disease. Charities have been criticised for the way they put pressure on donors to give them money. Save the Children has said today it will stop the practice of cold calling to raise cash. But will other charities follow suit? Dame Hilary Blume tells Winifred Robinson she thinks the sector has a long way to go to reform itself. Plus the oldies headlining the main stages at this year's music festivals. Research has found that over the past 15 years the average age of the headline acts has increased by around the same number of years. Promoters are concerned that in a few years there won't be enough big bands to go around. We ask what's stopping the younger bands from taking centre stage. Presented by Winifred Robinson Produced by Natalie Donovan.
