The Agnew Community Centre on Morrison Close, Newton Aycliffe are keen to continue to raise the profile of people living with Dementia.
With this in mind and aware of how many people signed up to be dementia friends, the Management Committee are looking to hold a Dementia Friends training session in the foreseeable future.
The next part is up to you, readers of the Newton News. If you are interested in becoming a dementia friend take a look at the Alzheimer’s website and see what it means to be able to understand and support those that are in our community and living with dementia.
Let’s dispel the myth that life is over when someone is diagnosed with dementia. Let’s make the Agnew area of town and beyond as dementia friendly as is possible using a little bit of knowledge and a lot of common sense.
