On the 11^th and 12^th of May 2015, Sonas apc organized the 7^th International Dementia Conference, “Dementia in Ireland: Time for Action ” which was attended by more than 300 delegates involved in elderly conditions and dementia.

Sonas apc is an Irish charity who created The Sonas Programme, which is “a therapeutic communication activity primarily for older people, that focuses on sensory stimulation, in the belief that the senses are the gateways to communication.” You can find more about Sonas here: www.sonasapc.ie

Sharing a similar vision to Sonas apc, we were invited to present the results of the HAPPIER study. Thomas McCabe, National Manager and Andrew McBride, Development Officer, were representing our charity with an information stand. “We are glad we received strong interest from delegates”, said Thomas McCabe, “this kind of event is perfect to share our vision and the causes we are fighting for.”
