Llangollen bids to be age and dementia friendly


* Llangollen Town Hall where the film will be screened on May 18.

A group of people are pursuing official Age and Dementia Friendly status for Llangollen. 

The scheme is currently administered by Denbighshire Voluntary Services Council and local bidders say they need to meet a number of criteria to gain recognition.  

They say: "We started the process before Covid but of course everything was put on hold but we have managed to set up a working group.  

"We are open to ideas from people living with dementia or carers and would be delighted to welcome anyone who wants to contribute.

"On Thursday May 18 we are screening the documentary film The World Upside Down in the council chamber in Llangollen Town Hall in Parade Street, starting at 1.30pm.  

"It is a new innovative film about dementia and communication.  Following the film there will be tea and coffee and an opportunity for discussion of the film’s main themes."

To book a place follow bit.ly/World_Turned_Upside_Down_LLANGOLLEN_1805 or email Becky at: engagement@dvsc.co.ouk or on 01824 702441.

* If you want to know more about Age and Dementia Llangollen or advice on support with dementia, Denbighshire Social Services are organising a drop-in coffee session in the Town Hall on Friday May 19, from10.30am to 1.30pm.
