As we prepare to celebrate another Christmas, reflect on the Old Year, and look forward to the New Year, my thoughts are on how amazing our village is. Sue and I came to Debenham almost 50 years ago and it always has been a lively and active and caring community. For us, that is what country life should be all about. True, we have seen many changes over the years, and that is as it should be, because life changes and we need to change with it. However, it has never lost that warmth that makes it a pleasure to walk down the High Street and greet our friends and neighbours, and welcome strangers. Nor has it lost that spirit that “gets on and does things” – or the compassion to simply care for each other. It is these strengths that have marked out Debenham as very special to me, and it is they that have been the foundation of The Debenham Project. So, I want to say a massive Thank You to everyone, which includes our whole community, who have given so much in making a difference for families living with dementia.
Finally, I must especially thank the family and friends of Tess Johnson for their generous donations made in her memory.
With all my best wishes, Lynden Jackson
