A Liverpool teen has been nominated for a national award after creating a dementia app with National Museums Liverpool.
Abdul Wase, 19, is one of three finalists in the Community category of Alzheimer's Society's Dementia Hero Awards. Announcing Abdul's nomination this week, the charity described the Toxteth teen as a "community icon" and "inspiration" for creating an app to help Yemeni elders and people with dementia "live culturally engaged lives".
