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?

Our church welcomes those with Dementia who would like to attend our services or social events.

We have held special services that are suitable for those living with Dementia and their carers and relatives.

We aim to arrange transport for those living with dementia and their carers so that they are able to attend regular Sunday services and we value their attendance and their contribution.

We aim to increase awareness of the issues surrounding Dementia by hosting regular Dementia Friends Training sessions at our church for church members and staff.

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

Some members of the church will be unable to attend a Dementia Friends training due to family/work commitments, so managing to get everyone trained is probably unrealistic
