A dementia specialist who remortgaged her home to open a site in Kirkby four years ago has launched a crowdfunding campaign in a bid to take over and repurpose a decommissioned council building in Huyton.
Rosie Whittington is the director of Me2U, whose site in Westvale offers a pioneering approach for people living with dementia, with flexible, holistic and people-focused care and support.
She told the ECHO she was a teenage carer for her nan, who she said was "physically unwell and suffered greatly with mental health problems". Rosie added: "She'd keep me off school to do the cleaning. When she passed at 17 I realised I was a good carer. We had some really deep meaningful conversations."
