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?

Through our Dementia Champion, we will train all our staff and volunteers to be Dementia Friends and support other organisations to do the same.  This supports outcome 6 – “I have a sense of belonging and of being a valued part of family and community life”.

Continue running a Dementia Friendly Day Centre for the elderly twice a week.  By offering a bespoke programme of care, members and their family can choose what is appropriate for them. This supports outcome 1 - "I have personal choice and control or influence over decisions about me."

Work with the Norwich Dementia Action Alliance to help make Lakenham, Norwich a Dementia Friendly village.  This supports outcome 5 - "I live in an enabling and supportive environment where I feel valued and understood."

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

As more requirements are placed on the demanding workload of running sessions there is a limit to the amount of time dedicated to training.

Ongoing funding needs and communicating throughout the community the value of the work

Engaging with businesses and organisations and proving value added
