Understanding & Awareness

Raising awareness and improving understanding of dementia helps challenge stigma, reduce misconceptions and create communities where people living with dementia are treated with dignity, respect and compassion.

Inclusion & Independence

Everyone deserves to feel included, valued and independent. Dementia-friendly communities help people living with dementia maintain confidence, make choices and continue participating in everyday activities and community life.

Social Connection & Wellbeing

Meaningful social connections and regular community involvement can help reduce loneliness, promote emotional wellbeing and support a sense of belonging for people living with dementia, their families and carers.

Supporting Families & Carers

Families and unpaid carers play an essential role in supporting people living with dementia. Dementia-friendly communities can provide understanding, shared experiences, useful information and connections that help families and carers feel less isolated and better supported.
