Welcome to the first episode in a series of "Carers Conversations", where we are Reimagining Golf Clubs as Healthy Ageing Hubs.
In this episode I sit down for a conversation with Linda Barnes, wife and carer to one of our Golf in Society participants. Linda is also the author of an incredible daily blog, Telling Tales, where she gives society an insight into her world caring for her husband who is living with young onset Alzheimer's disease.
Listen in as we gain a small insight into Linda & Ken's world, from Linda herself. Followed by a chat about Co-designing a better future for families living with dementia.
"I wanted to conduct these conversations to get a true insight into life at the coalface of dementia and to show how we're incorporating carers voices into reimagining golf clubs as health hubs" - Anthony Blackburn
