An opportunity for your staff to learn about dementia and become Dementia Friends

Organisations play a vital role in supporting people affected by dementia. We can support staff at your organisation to become Dementia Friends and make a difference for people affected by dementia.

The Alzheimer’s Society’s Dementia Friends programme is an awareness raising initiative aimed at increasing people’s understanding of dementia and inspiring them to make little changes in their lives that make a difference for people affected by dementia.

A Dementia Friends session is a 60-minute interactive session. 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.

To deliver the session in person you will need a room where people can sit comfortably and around an hour of their time. At the end of the session, they will receive a Dementia Friends badge.

We can also deliver these session virtually if that suits you

If you would like a session or have any questions, just get in touch
