Dementia Friendly Communities
The Dementia Friendly Communities Network is a growing network of Scottish dementia friendly communities sharing support, empowerment and inspiration with people living with dementia and unpaid carers, in their own community.
As part of our work with the network, we have created a new suite of workshops.
You don’t need to be a member to take part – if you have an interest in the topics, please feel free to sign up and learn more.
The workshops we are offering include:
- Becoming an effective Dementia Friendly Community
- Planning and running dementia inclusive activities
- An introduction to Young Onset Dementia
The Dementia Training team at Age Scotland have developed a new suite of workshops aimed at members of the Dementia Friendly Communities Network. This is a network of Scottish dementia friendly communities sharing support, empowerment and inspiration with people living with dementia and unpaid carers, in their own community. You are welcome to join these workshops as an individual or as a member of group/community organisation (even if you’re not yet a member of the Dementia Friendly Communities Network). To learn more about the work of the network, see Dementia Friendly Communities Network (ageuk.org.uk)
This online workshop will take place using Zoom. We look forward to welcoming you to our event.
Please get in touch with the dementia training team at dementiatraining@agescotland.org.uk if you have any questions, would like to book a training session or would like to be added to a workshop waitlist.
