York Dementia Action Alliance

History and Vision

york

York Dementia Action Alliance was established in 2013 and developed from a Joseph Rowntree Foundation action research project called ‘Dementia Without Walls’. York Dementia Action Alliance has built on the report's initial recommendations and aims to raise awareness, tackle stigma, to be a hub for communication and improve services.  The vision for York Dementia Action Alliance is for York to become a ‘dementia friendly’ city, enabling people to live well within their communities.
