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 which helps all kinds of people in a variety of different ways, we aim to be inclusive to all. We help bring together those who are young and old, friends and family allowing all to participate in activities together or to work out individually on their own.

 

 

 

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

Our main challenge will be working with the current building design, layouts, signage and equipment that we have but moving forward when we are in a position to renew or replace items we will be mindful of the barriers that we currently have and aim to be dementia friendly.
