A Dementia Friends Information Session is a fun, interactive way to learn a little about dementia and how it can affect people’s lives. Led by a volunteer Dementia Friends Champion, the Session lasts 45-60 minutes and covers five key messages that everyone should know about dementia, through activities and discussion.
At the end of the Information Session, participants have the opportunity to turn their understanding into action by committing to a dementia-friendly action. No action is too big or small – from wearing a Dementia Friends badge to spreading the word on social media.
Please note: A Dementia Friends Information Session is not training; volunteer Champions are not dementia experts, will not be able to provide further information or advice and are not DBS-checked.
Dementia Friends aims to give people a better understanding of dementia and the small things we can all do to make a difference to the lives of people affected by dementia. Dementia Friends is led by Alzheimer’s Society and is one strand of its work to create Dementia Friendly Communities. By attending a Dementia Friends Information Session, you have the opportunity to join this national social action movement to change the way the nation thinks, acts and talks about the condition.
