Newtown have become the third community in the area to achieve ‘Working towards’ status. Huge congratulations to them for the hard work and commitment shown by the steering group and a huge group of interested members who are busy making Newtown a better place to be for those living with and affected by Dementia.
They will have 20 new Dementia Friends Champions in the area after the induction in Newtown on 28 July, so please contact Dementia Friends directly if you would like to arrange a dementia friends session over the summer.
Karen Rodenburg is slowly spreading her work to Llanidloes, Rhayader, Montgomery and the villages around Abermule and Llandyssil. If anyone knows of any other communities that would like to talk about becoming dementia friendly, however small, please contact her.
Ageing Well in Wales are planning a half day event to be held in Machynlleth hopefully on 6 October. The event is for anyone working with a dementia friendly community or interested in joining and existing DFC, or starting a new one in their organisation or area.
