The book titled ‘Scarlett Buckling and the Case of the Missing Pictures’ introduces young readers to the difficult emotions and practicalities of knowing someone with dementia through a mystery adventure.
The book, by Anchor director of communications and marketing Mario Ambrosi, follows Scarlett who has a passion for detective stories. When her Gran begins to lose her memory and suddenly goes missing, Scarlett finds herself in the middle of a real-life mystery - one she’s determined to solve.
Ambrosi said: “Dementia affects so many families and helping children understand it is an important step in helping families cope. It’s been fantastic to work with EF-group to get Scarlett Buckling into classrooms where it can really make a difference.”
To mark World Alzheimer’s Month this September, EF-group has partnered with Anchor to gift copies of the book to schools within its education client network.
Gemma Spilling, marketing manager at EF-group, commented: “We’re proud to support our clients on initiatives that matter. Working with Anchor to promote understanding of dementia through storytelling is exactly the kind of project we love to help make happen.”
