So @OctopusEnergy 3 months on:
1. You brought the wrong cable
Then
2. Your engineer was too hungover to stay
Then
3. You rewired the garage back wrongly & dangerously
Then
3. You didn’t have our appointment (we have 3 confirmation emails)
And…
Still no charger😡. Disgusting
If you are considering @OctopusEnergy please avoid. The cost of the ‘free’ charger so far in emergency repair call outs after their work, unpaid leave, paying for non-existent fitting, public charging and cancelled Christmas train tickets is over £1200.
Absolutely appalling.
After cancelling our Christmas travel plans @OctopusEnergy promised the engineer would come today to fit our car charger, 4th attempt, we just got a call to say no one is coming. Absolute lying shambles. We even checked last night & this morning. Disgusting. Come & get your car.
And the absolutely worst customer service award of 2025 goes to @OctopusEnergy Hours of wasted time, poor sign posting, lost income from days off when they send no engineer or 2 engineers with no cable! Car for 6 weeks, still no charger in sight. Outstandingly poor.

The removal of a dementia diagnosis target is unacceptable.
It sends the message that dementia doesn’t matter and highlights a staggering lack of focus on a devastating condition that affects nearly a million people in the UK.

‘I need someone. Some sort of support. I can’t do this anymore.’
This recreation of Alzheimer’s Society’s Dementia Support Line calls brings to life the desperate calls the support line has received every day since it started in 2019.

Lighting up Piccadilly Circus with real people’s real life stories! Looks stunning and what a privilege to give a voice to those who have something difficult and personal to share! We stand with them, again and again and again. Always!

Only 1 in 5 dementia PhD students go on to stay in dementia research. That’s why we’re delighted to announce we’ll be investing £9million into funding three new Doctoral Training Centres designed to support and nurture dementia researchers at the start of their career 👇

This new report from @OHENews commissioned by @alzheimerssoc shows how unequal healthcare is for people with dementia and their carers.
Next week we will launch a new initiative to fund researchers to help make healthcare fairer for people with dementia.

Recently I helped celebrate 10 years of the incredible @alzheimerssoc Time for Dementia programme, buddying up families navigating dementia with Medical and Clinical Students to build their confidence & understanding of the wider impacts of the condition. Such a fab team 💙
What a wonderful day with our @alzheimerssoc teams in #Plymouth The Executive Directors and I have been hearing all about their work in Finance and Fundraising 💙💙💙
With the wonderful Milton Keynes Singing for the Brain Group @alzheimerssoc 💙💙💙.
This was one of my career highlights. Such a privilege to meet someone so seminal in the field of Alzheimer’s Disease research - not a scientist, but one of our very own @alzheimerssoc Dementia Advisors at one point!! She is my inspiration that one person can change the world. 💙
Did you catch 'The Jennings vs Alzheimer's' on @BBCTwo last night?
Last year @KateLeeCEO visited them to talk about their incredible achievements, their dementia journey and to ask them to be Vice-Presidents of Alzheimer’s Society.
