Are you caring for a loved one with dementia and don’t know where to begin? Here are the answers you have been searching for.
Jane Hardy writes frankly about the experiences she and her Mum have shared over the past four years, the lessons she’s learned, the things she wished she’d known before they started this journey together. Jane’s Mum Beth was diagnosed with Vascular Dementia and Alzheimers with a score of 16 (moderate/severe dementia) at the age of 90. Four years later, she has a score of 20+, is enjoying life and her memory and humour are returning!
Her GP cannot believe her improvement. She is stronger and healthier, has a positive outlook on life and can read and write again.
If you are dealing with a loved one with Dementia, Jane’s experiences and strategies will help you avoid the same mistakes that she made! This journey is not for the faint hearted. But focus on what we can be done, rather than what the others say can’t be done. For Jane and her Mum, small steps have led to huge strides.

***BUSINESS BOOK AWARDS 2022 SHORTLISTED TITLE***
You want to be your own boss, but how do you make the right decision and make it happen?
The world of work is unrecognizable from when you started your career. It’s full of uncertainty, but it’s also full of opportunities.
Never has it been easier to start a business and make an impact in the world.
Taking inspiration from project management techniques, Rob Kerr shows you how to test your ideas, get clarity, and launch a successful independent career. You’ll discover:
- THE S.O.R.T.E.D. FRAMEWORK – to get your mindset right.
- THE I.N.P.U.T.S. FRAMEWORK – to critically analyse your business proposal.
- THE 6-STEP F.U.T.U.R.E. METHOD – to develop and deliver your plan.
Rob Kerr had a number of false starts in his own career before finding his path.

Now he shares his approach with aspiring entrepreneurs, contractors, and freelancers, supporting them through these critical decisions and showing them how to flourish on their own unique journey.
It’s Monday morning, 9am. How do you feel?
Imagine waking up to start another week. In a perfect world, how would you like to feel? Maybe you imagine feeling motivated and energized. Maybe you imagine starting your week with a sense of purpose, peace and intention.
The goal of this book is simple: to help you live with a sense of purpose. Part-manual, part-manifesto, this book is not a quick fix for happiness; it’s not a five-day plan promising a fast result. Instead, it’s a companion, your personal guide to navigating your own sense of purpose as it evolves throughout your life.
Eloise Skinner is an author, therapist and teacher. She’s also the founder of The Purpose Workshop, an agency helping clients to navigate their purpose and redesign their lives.
Eloise studied at Cambridge, trained at Oxford and practised as a corporate lawyer, but after some soul-searching (including a year training to be a monk!) she followed her passion into psychotherapy.
Above all, Eloise is driven by the idea of integration – the power of bringing together all aspects of work and life; to live fully, with intention, integrity and purpose.
