Do you know what Dementia is? Or do you worry about memory loss for you or your relatives?

We held an interactive ‘Become a Dementia Friend’ session for our tenants, led by one of the Local Service Managers from Alzheimer’s Society. We learnt about dementia and how it affects a person. The initiative aims to transform the way the nation thinks, acts, and talks about the condition.

The session lasted an hour with people working in small groups putting themselves in the shoes of someone living with the condition. The group talked about what we can all do to help make our communities more dementia friendly.

Dementia Friends is open to anyone who wants to help people with dementia in their community. Find out more information or become a Dementia Friend at dementiafriends.org.uk
