About Us:

Set up 6 years ago Dementia Friendly Parishes around the Yealm is a ground breaking  project for people with dementia and their families in Wembury, Brixton, Newton & Noss, Yealmpton and Holbeton.  

We employ a part time  coodinator who supports people with dementia and their families  to remain active and involved  in their community by joining community groups and making new friends reducing isolation, loneliness and stigma. The Coordinator  also raises awareness about dementia  across the area enabling  all community groups and organisations to become dementia friendly so that people with dementia and their families  feel involved in their local communty.

Currently the project is linked with over 30  people  with dementia and their families involved  in  many different inclusive  and fulfilling  activities from gentle exercise,craft  and hobbies, reading,  singing, walking and  monthly afternoon tea.

People  with dementia  have a sense of  belonging  and feel valued  with   their families and in their  communty  through this project

We need your help so we can continue to offer and even expand our service to people with dementia and their families

Thank you for your support and good luck!

Yours sincerely

Liz Hitchins

Chairman
