Dementia Champions
During the Even Better Together project we have collected information and resources focused on exploring dementia, advocacy, dementia-friendly places and spaces.
The Dementia Champions page brings information and resources together with highlights of our work and reflections from Learning Together sessions and Dementia Conversations.
The Dementia Champions Gallery includes snapshots of people who have taken part in our Learning Together programme to raise awareness of dementia, advocacy and dementia-friendly places and spaces.
Dementia Champions Resources includes links to information and guides published by a range of organisations, with a short summary of the organisation and the resource.
You can access slides from the Learning Together sessions.
Introduction to Dementia Champions: Learning Together
Learning Together is a programme of sessions ranging from awareness sessions to conversations focused on dementia and advocacy.
Dementia Champions help people with dementia to feel welcome and included in everyday life. Dementia Champions aim to:
- share information, experiences and stories to help raise awareness and change attitudes of dementia in communities
- reduce the fear and stigma of dementia by helping people to understand how dementia affects people and what can help
- make small changes to the environment to help people with dementia to feel comfortable, welcome and included.
Understand the impact of dementia, explore welcoming spaces and promote positive experiences for people living with dementia:
BJF have been busy working with Methodist Homes MHA and Father Hudson’s Caritas FHC on a partnership project Even Better Together to grow our Dementia Champions network. We work together to explore what it means to live with dementia, how we can support people through human rights and advocacy, and how to create dementia-friendly places and spaces.
We now have 100+ Dementia Champions who have completed a number of Learning Together sessions and are putting their learning into practice every day. Community members, volunteers, staff, students and senior managers have all worked together to think about people’s rights, strategies for positive support and giving people with dementia a warm welcome in our communities. We visit community groups, starting Dementia Conversations and growing our Dementia Champions network.
