Dementia Friends has agreed to move back into the Senior Forum now the Alzheimer’s Society support for the programme has been withdrawn.
DF meetings tended to be face-to-face, was as SF tends to take place on Zoom. The group is happy to vary the format from time to time.
Diane is continuing to run Dementia Friends sessions and is continuing to work with other Dementia leads from other towns to create a new programme.
