Paul said: “We are tasked with building dementia friendly
communities.
“We do this by delivering dementia friends sessions in the
hope of educating people and removing the stigma that may come with hearing the
word dementia, working one to one with individuals to help them access their
community and we also set up and run dementia friendly social groups.
“The groups give people a chance to come and talk in a non-judgmental
environment where people affected by dementia can come in confidence.
“Service information is available and there are activities
with lunch provided. The groups are very relaxed and are open to everybody as another one of our aims
is to limit isolation.”
He added: “We are currently in the process of reaching out
to people in Llangollen to let them know of the social groups existence and
what it is we are trying to do.
“We have held sessions at fire stations, taxi services and
town councils, therefore helping people who have dementia access there town.”
