On Wednesday, Powys Councillors accepted a motion for the County Council to become dementia-friendly. Well done to Cllr Paul Ashton, a founder member of Brecon and Hay Dementia Supportive Community Group, for putting forward the proposal. Brecon Dementia Friendly Community’s next move will be to develop a model for delivery including encouraging all Powys councillors, staff and care providers to become dementia friends.
Following submission of action plans, Brecon Beacons National Park Authority and Dyfed-Powys Police have been officially recognised by the Alzheimer’s Society as ‘Working to become Dementia Friendly’. They are the first two organisations in Wales to be awarded this status. Hopefully they will be the first of many in Powys.
