Encourage inclusion
Working with local groups and businesses to make everyday places more welcoming.
The pledges we made to become a Dementia Friendly town include:
- Promoting Dementia Friendly Newtown through social media.
- Including people who have a diagnosis of dementia.
- Delivering Dementia Friendly sessions locally and approaching local businesses to see whether they are interested in hosting sessions.
- Supporting Dementia Matters in Powys by helping with venue-hire costs for its regular meetings in Welshpool, Newtown, Llandrindod Wells and Brecon.
