Why is she called Babs?
Our giant walk‑through brain is named Dame Barbara Windsor, or “Babs” for short, in honour of her courageous decision to go public with her Alzheimer’s diagnosis and the powerful legacy she left for dementia awareness.
​
We hope that, just like Barbara did, Babs will help open up conversations, raise awareness about brain health and dementia prevention, and inspire everyone, at any age, to think about how to care for their brain for life.
