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 committed to helping people become and stay active and healthy.  Our goal is to create a place where everybody in the community can come and enjoy the benefits of physical activity, or simply come and meet to enjoy the social side of leisure.

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

Our main challenge will be raising the awareness of Dementia friendly to the staff and the local community of Bordon. Although one of which can be over come by training and education. Community awareness can be achieved through using existing initiatives of engagement and maximising links that have already been accomplished.
