The directory was launched to help combat issues faced by people living with dementia. It contains a range of useful information with details of local businesses and organisations that have come forward as ‘Dementia Friends’.
Over 1,000 copies of the book were sent to residential homes, doctors’ surgeries, libraries and members of the community last year, and it was available on the DDC website. This year DDC are looking to repeat this success, with over 1,000 copies of the book set to be produced, with funding from the Community Safety Partnership.
If you would like your organisation, business or services to be featured in the 2018 Later Life Address Book, at least one member of staff must have attended a free 45 minute dementia friendly information session.
The council will be hosting three sessions in February at the DDC offices in Whitfield:
- Monday 12 February, 10am to 11am
- Wednesday 14 February, 2pm to 3pm
- Friday 16 February, 6pm to 7pm
If you would like to attend one of the sessions you can register here, or if you are already Dementia Friends and would like to be included in the book, email community@dover.gov.uk.
