Dementia: what the Council is doing

Dementia Friendly Communities

Denbighshire County Council participated in the Alzheimer’s Society Dementia Friendly Communities Scheme and supported the development of multiple Dementia Friendly Communities across the county. This scheme was closed by the Alzheimer’s Society in December 2023.

In response, the North Wales Regional Partnership Board worked closely with County Voluntary Councils, Local Authorities, the Health Board and other partners to develop and establish a North Wales Dementia Friendly Communities Scheme (external website) that was launched in January 2024.

Dementia Friendly Communities support people living with dementia, their families, friends and carers by raising awareness generally in order to increase understanding and to enable anyone living with dementia to remain an active part of their local community. Existing Dementia Friendly Communities in Denbighshire have become members of the new North Wales Scheme.
