Norm’s an Angel – Memory cafe launch in Torquay

Norm’s an Angel – Memory cafe launch in Torquay

Torbay resident Norman McNamara was just 50 years of age when he was diagnosed with dementia. Out shopping one day he was so rudely spoken to by a shopkeeper that he decided to be the person to make a difference and change the way people see dementia and treat others.

And there the story began. The Purple Angel was born on 12th January 2012. It was formed as a steering group to try and make Torbay the first Dementia Friendly resort in the country.
