beginning and to be able to signpost them or their

relatives towards help.”

mum face and realise symptoms and support during her

life.”

Success and positive

feedback

SO FAR…

12 local Businesses have become supporters of the KDAA and signed up to the Kirklees

Dementia Friendly High Street Pack.

Four dementia friends sessions were held for local businesses and members of the

community.

Lindley school were very keen to engage and supported us in this process.

Forget – me – not Flower competition

The school head has asked for further

curriculum session to follow on from this.

Spoke to many people and groups before the event and on the day, it is difficult to quantify this.

500 plus children turned up for the assembly to learn a little more about

dementia.

The second session at the school was a coffee morning with parents and

grandparents attending the event.

A development plan will follow to

support the longer term sustainability

with the community.
