Very much so, very much so. I think it's incredible the innovation that's been shown, in ways that most people wouldn't think of, to help people with dementia. I think it's hugely important as well that that—it's not a phrase perhaps that I'd generally use—inter-generational understanding is promoted, where young people do understand what the effects of dementia are, how they can help people with dementia, and, of course, to be able to understand what families and individuals face as challenges if somebody is diagnosed with dementia. I think it's a fantastic idea, fantastic concept, and I very much congratulate the school.
