A Dementia Friend learns a little bit more about what it's like to live with dementia and then turns that understanding into action - anyone of any age can be a Dementia Friend - our staff have either attended a face-to face Dementia Friends
Information session or watched the relevant videos. Dementia Friends is about learning more
about dementia and the small ways we can help.
From telling friends about Dementia Friends to
visiting someone we know living with dementia,
every action counts.
