1. Action Plan

1. The National Dementia Declaration lists seven outcomes that the DAA are seeking to achieve for people with dementia and their carers. How would you describe your organisation’s role in delivering better outcomes for people with dementia and their carers?

SIEG works in the community of East Grinstead and surrounding villages to offer services advocacy and educational support to local organisations.  SIEG is well placed in terms of its reach local knowledge and internal expertise to be an active participant within the EGDFC

2. What are the challenges to delivering these outcomes from the perspective of your organisation?

the group meet regularly so can review the projects and work and effectiveness easily and make changes as needed.   The SIEG are keen to learn more about how to relate and communicate better with those with Dementia who are using their services.
