If you are passionate about your local community and want to make it more dementia-friendly then this session is for you.

You will learn what a dementia-friendly community is and how it benefits the whole community. You will explore practical examples and identify a process for 'getting started' as an individual or as a community, to enable your community to be dementia-friendly.
