I hope you are all enjoying the long days and (sometimes) summer weather. Below you will find the latest edition of the Dementia Friendly Communities newsletter for North and Mid Powys.
Turn to page two to find out which is the latest community to be granted status of Working to become Dementia Friendly. And then read about all the goings on during Dementia Awareness Week, including local celebrities supporting the campaign, fund raisers and information events; where the road show bus has made an appearance; communities looking to get started; exciting plans for fund raising and awareness raising next May (already!) and note the opportunity highlighted on the last page for anyone caring for a person with a recent diagnosis of dementia (details attached).
Also note that there will be a Dementia Friends Champions induction in Newtown on Friday 18 August. To book a place or to find out more, visit the Dementia Friends website on: https://www.dementiafriends.org.uk/WEBTraining#.WX9P_9IrLcs
And one more to note: Ageing Well in Wales and Dementia Friendly Welshpool will host a networking event on Wednesday 18 October, from 10 am in Welshpool Town Hall, lunch will be provided. All Dementia Friendly Communities are invited to take the floor for 30 minutes to share the great things they are doing. We hope that hearing real stories about how communities are making a difference in their own unique ways will inspire you and you will leave the day full of new and exciting ideas to try out.
I look forward to working with you in the autumn.
Have a great remainder of the summer and let’s hope the sun comes back out some time soon!
Regards Karen
