On way home from delivering Dementia Friends sessions at Alder Grange school to be given a bag of happiness by one of the pupils at St Paul's CofE school Rossendale, how apt! 🙂

We are delighted to receive funding from @EastLancsCCG to pilot a dementia carers cafe. The cafe will run at the same time as our dementia friendly craft and Man Shed so that couples can attend together.#dementia #carers #Wellbeing #haslingden #rossendale

Today I became a Dementia Friend - there was a session in the office so I thought why not, will be good to get a better understanding of people living with dementia - and it was a really interesting session. Thanks @DementiaFriends

[DFR Rossendale @DementiaRoss]

Don’t forget we have 2 Dementia Friends Champions in our group who can provide the Dementia Friends info sessions throughout the valley.

We would love to have more dementia friends in Rossendale and we can help it happen for groups and businesses in the valley, contact us for more details

Dementia Friends is all about raising awareness whenever and however we can. It's wonderful to see the ways people go into their communities to spread the word. Louise has been extra creative with this by hand-making these beautiful forget-me-not brooches – thank you Louise!
