Dementia Friends Rooms Experience
After over a year of development we are excited to share our brand-new Dementia Friends Rooms Experience!
Want to champion the dementia friends movement?
Dementia Friends information sessions are facilitated by volunteer Champions who have participated in Champion training. This will equip you with the knowledge and activities needed to facilitate Dementia Friends Information Sessions with family, friends, colleagues, and the wider community.
