Become a Dementia Friend

What is this?

A Dementia Friend is someone who learns about dementia so they can help their community.  Dementia Friends help people living with dementia by taking actions. These actions don't have to be big - it can be as simple as being patient in a shop queue to visiting someone you know with dementia. Some Dementia Friends also get involved in volunteering or campaigning but you don't have to.  

Anyone can be a Dementia Friend and it is really easy to join.
