Alzheimer’s Society’s Dementia Friends programme is the biggest ever
initiative to change people’s perceptions of dementia. It aims to transform the way the nation
thinks, talks and acts about the condition. Dementia touches the lives of millions of
people across the UK. Dementia Friends
was launched to tackle the stigma and lack of understanding that means many
people with the condition experience loneliness and social exclusion. Dementia Friends is about learning more about dementia and the small ways you can help.
Dementia Friends Information Sessions are run by volunteer Dementia Friends Champions, who are trained and supported by Alzheimer’s Society. Each information session lasts around one hour. You will learn more about dementia and how you can help to create dementia friendly communities.
