Supporting Rural Dementia – Thinking Differently
The Four Rivers Dementia Alliance have been granted their requested two year funding by the National Lottery Community Fund to support people living with dementia in a rural setting.
This will allow us to fund Claire Puckey our Community Liaison and Support Lead as she build relationships and supports groups and organisations in the Four Rivers area to consider ideas and events in their communities that in turn will be inclusive for people living with dementia, their families and carers and help enrich their lives as well as reduce both isolation and the stigma.
It will also allow us to develop easy to read and digest support literature and workshops for a range of different groups from Parish Councils, to schools, businesses and social groups. The essence of our role and work is to help communities identify what they can do and where they can go to get additional support or build relationships with other rural communities.
We are really grateful to the Community Fund for the investment and hopefully, we will be able to give a good return over two years for their investment.
