More information on Dementia Friends:

Alzheimer’s Society’s Dementia Friends programme is our biggest ever initiative to change people’s perceptions of dementia.

Dementia touches the lives of millions of people across the UK. Dementia Friends was launched to tackle the stigma and lack of understanding that means many people with the condition experience loneliness and social exclusion. We need to create more communities and businesses that are dementia friendly so that people affected by dementia feel understood and included.
