Dementia Friends Awareness Event
Friday 14th November, from 11AM
We are delighted to welcome Ambassador Val Down as she presents a Free Dementia Friends Awareness event on how you can help support those living with dementia.
Dementia Friends is an initiative pioneered by the Alzheimer’s Society with the aim of giving people a greater understanding of what it is like to live with dementia in an effort to tackle the stigma and sometimes the loneliness which touches the lives of millions of people – those living with dementia and those caring for them.
The Dementia Friends programme is the biggest ever initiative to change people’s perceptions of dementia. There are currently 900,000 people living with dementia in the UK and the aim is to transform the way the nation thinks, talks and acts around the condition.
It is about learning more about dementia and the small ways you can help. From telling friends about the Dementia Friends programme to visiting someone you know living with dementia, every action counts.
