Rainham Hall, National Trust
We are a charity and completely independent of Government. We rely for income on membership fees, donations and legacies, and revenue raised from our commercial operations. We have over 3.7 million members and 61,000 volunteers. More than 17 million people visit our pay for entry properties, while an estimated 50 million visit our open air properties. We protect and open to the public over 350 historic houses, gardens and ancient monuments. But it doesn’t stop there. We also look after forests, woods, fens, beaches, farmland, downs, moorland, islands, archaeological remains, castles, nature reserves, villages - for ever, for everyone.

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?
We are anticipating around 40,000 visitors to visit Rainham Hall annually. Many of these visitors will be people with dementia and/or their carers. We would like to ensure that our visitors with dementia feel as welcome and comfortable as possible when they come to Rainham Hall.
Our volunteers are very active in the community. Many of them are community ambassadors and volunteer for more than one organisation. We would hope that our training of our volunteers would benefit the local community and other local organisations too.
2. What are the challenges to delivering these outcomes from the perspective of your organisation?
Some of our colleagues may not see the benefit in the training until they have received it. This may mean we have to work a lot harder to get their buy in when initially running training.
