As a champion you can work with councils, businesses and service providers to help them see their service and amenities through the eyes of someone with dementia.
This helps everyone understand the challenges a person with dementia may have when using services or accessing spaces. It may also change attitudes towards that person or what people do as a result.
What you can do
- Talk to people with dementia and their families and find out what would help and support them
- Encourage councils, businesses and service provider to include people with dementia and their family members in the design of new or existing services or spaces
- Tip sheets for businesses and service providers can help them review their spaces and ensure they are welcoming and inclusive
