in this guide
We have covered a
number of topics in this
guide that include:
• Information about
Dementia and living
well
• How you can support
your own wellbeing
As a Dementia Friendly Community, we are
committed to ensuring people with dementia feel
understood, valued and are able to contribute to
their community.
When people living with Dementia were surveyed
by the Alzheimer’s Society, sadly only 47% of
respondents said they felt part of their community.
When asked what they have had to stop they said:
• Remain Independent in
your home
• Information and
Support for Carers
• Planning for the Future
– Legal and Financial
Matters
We hope that you will find
this guide informative and
helpful.
With our best wishes to
all,
only
47%
of survey respondents feel
a part of their community
when asked what they have had to stop doing, people said:
28% 22% 16%
getting out
of the house exercise transport
23% 9%
shopping have had to give
up everything
This is why we launched the South Ribble
Dementia Charter on 21st May 2018, Dementia
Action week.

We want to encourage businesses, community
groups, service and public sector organisations to
become part of the Charter Community, so that we
can ensure South Ribble’s town centres and places
where people go are Dementia Friendly and
supportive.
