Specialist dementia support coming to Newport high street
Dementia UK's Admiral Nurse clinics will return to Wales this summer, offering free face-to-face support at selected Nationwide branches, including Newport, in a familiar and private setting. The clinics, delivered by Dementia UK's specialist Admiral Nurses, are open to anyone affected by dementia and provide practical and emotional guidance on everything from memory concerns and diagnosis to financial planning and legal matters. Ruby Guild, Admiral Nurse at Dementia UK, said: "We're looking forward to returning to Wales. "Nationwide branches offer a safe and private space for people to access specialist support for dementia, and the Fairer Futures partnership is helping us bring face-to-face support to people in a familiar location." Nationwide's Newport branch, located at 33/34 Commercial Street, will host the clinics on July 1, 2, and 3. Appointments can be booked through Dementia UK's website. Debbie Crosbie, chief executive officer of Nationwide, said: "Nationwide wants to help people live their best life possible, for as long as possible. "By working with Dementia UK to fund more Admiral Nurses and turning our branches into dementia clinics, we're helping to tackle the country's leading cause of death. "We believe this and Nationwide Fairer Futures will change hundreds of thousands of lives for the better." The clinics are part of Nationwide's Fairer Futures social impact programme, which focuses on four major UK issues: family poverty, youth homelessness, dementia, and cancer. Through this partnership, Nationwide is funding 30 Admiral Nurses and will have hosted dementia clinics in 200 branches by the end of the summer.

And its not just traditional banks offering up freebies. Customers can also cash in on free perks with popular digital banks. How do I switch bank accounts? SWITCHING bank accounts is a simple process and can usually be done through the Current Account Switch Service (CASS). Dozens of high street banks and building societies are signed up - there's a full list on CASS' website. Under the switching service, swapping banks should take seven working days. You don't have to remember to move direct debits across when moving, as this is done for you. All you have to do is apply for the new account you want, and the new bank will tell your existing one you're moving. There are a few things you can do before switching though, including choosing your switch date and transferring any old bank statements to your new account. You should get in touch with your existing bank for any old statements. When switching current accounts, consider what other perks might come with joining a specific bank or building society. Some banks offer 0% overdrafts up to a certain limit, and others might offer better rates on savings accounts. And some banks offer free travel or mobile phone insurance with their current accounts - but these accounts might come with a monthly fee.
