Aimed at increasing people’s understanding of dementia and inspiring them to make a difference for people affected by dementia.
A Dementia Friends session is a 60-minute interactive session delivered by a trained Alzheimer’s Society volunteer. During the session, participants learn the five things we want everyone to know about dementia and explore simple ways they can make a difference. By the end of the session, they will be a Dementia Friend, and they’ll consider what they can do to support people affected by the condition. It could be as simple as helping someone to find the right bus, being patient, or raising awareness of dementia on social media.
