Trevor Salomon

Following a career as an international marketing director, Trevor chose to step away from his role in 2011 when it became evident he needed to devote time to his wife, Yvonne, and her emerging memory problems which were eventually diagnosed as young onset Alzheimer’s disease when she was 57 years old. His approach to looking after her emulated the style he adopted in his work life, namely to see obstacles simply as inconveniences which have to be circumnavigated… no ifs, no buts, no choice. When Yvonne became a care home resident in May 2019, Trevor took to volunteering his time for a number of dementia charities. He is a regular speaker at events and in the media, helping to raise awareness about those living with dementia and the challenges faced by carers and family members who support them. Trevor lives in NW London and has two children and two young grandsons.
