The Share-Bear Campaign: A Conversation with Kelly Dugmore
How Algarve Care Services Is Combating Loneliness and Dementia With Compassion
In this episode of Podcast Portugal, we sit down with Kelly Dugmore, from Algarve Care Services (ACS), to explore the deeply human issues of loneliness, caregiving, and dementia. Inspired by ACS’s newly launched “Share Bear Campaign,” Kelly discusses how the initiative seeks to bring warmth, connection, and visibility to people who may feel isolated—especially those living alone or navigating memory loss.
We unpack the challenges carers face, the subtle signs of memory decline, and the role that small acts of kindness can play in building community. Kelly also explains how the campaign works, from teddy-bear donations to community outreach, and how listeners can get involved or access support.
Listeners who would like to support or learn more about the Share Bear Campaign can visit Algarve Care Services at algarvecare.com, where they can find the latest updates, teddy drop-off locations via Instagram and Facebook, and contact details for further enquiries.
