Dementia Friendly Communities

The Dementia Friendly Communities programme focuses on improving inclusion and quality of life for people with dementia. Our five year strategy includes a key ambition to work with people affected by dementia and key partners to define and develop dementia friendly communities. The Prime Minister's challenge on dementia also includes an ambition to create communities that are working to help people live well with dementia.

       

If you want to be involved and feed into the Dementia Friendly Communities programme, please take a look at how you can get involved, or you can email dementiafriendlycommunities@alzheimers.org.uk for more information.

       
There are already people and organisations around the country working to create dementia friendly communities.  You can read and take inspiration from their stories. Find out more.

       

The first six month progress report into the Challenge revealed how the UK is already at the 'forefront' of tackling the condition, but the work has just begun to 'make a real and lasting difference for people with dementia.'
