What is YPWD?

Younger People with Dementia, Berkshire West (YPWD), is a newly set up charity. Its aim is to ensure a seamless service for the treatment, day-to-day care, respite, education, long term care and end of life care for younger people with dementia across Berkshire West. A great many services are in place for those with dementia over the age of 65, but few for those below this age.
