Welcome - what it means to be a Community Champion for people with dementia
Community Champions come from all walks of life and are making a real difference to the lives of people with dementia right across the country.
Most of us are already champions without even realising it, whether that’s through our work or in our personal lives - it’s about leading by example, showing people kindness and understanding, and offering support if needed.
Be it learning more about dementia, checking in with a neighbour or friend, offering a lift or giving people more time when out and about.
If you’re already working or volunteering in your community, thank you. By becoming a champion, we can share campaign updates with you and let you know what’s happening across the country. We can put you in touch with likeminded people in your local area, or help promote your dementia related activities.
Please join the social movement and help us to make Ireland a more inclusive place where people with dementia and their families feel welcome, supported and connected in community life.
