Dementia Friends - Sainsburys in Welshpool

Jeni Hall, Community Champion at Sainsburys Welshpool was approached to affiliate with Dementia Friendly Welshpool. Jeni and her then manager agreed to support DF Welshpool and pledged their actions. One of which was that Jeni would attend an induction day to become a DF Champion. Jeni did this and has since delivered DF sessions across the store to almost all of the staff. The store recently appointed a new manager who is supportive of dementia friendly activities.

The store have put on a display for dementia friends in-store and the staff are actively dementia friendly. Some weeks ago it was decided to start a slow shopping period on a Wednesday afternoon where modifications were made, such as all trollies removed from the aisles; no tannoy announcements made; all tills manned and all staff on duty on the shop floor were dementia friends.

To take advantage of this slower shopping experience, you don’t have to be living with or affected by dementia, it can be of benefit to anyone. Sessions are from 2-4 pm every Wednesday in the Sainsburys store in Welshpool.
