wouldn't it be a good idea, to promote ALL help available to "Carers and Cared For" for people with any type of Dementia in each area.
I thought it might be useful to let everyone know that the Society is working on a service that will aim to do just this.
Dementia Connect is a comprehensive database of the services and activities that are available to people with dementia and their carers across England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Dementia Connect not only contains the 2500+ Alzheimer's Society services, but also thousands more services and activities which are provided by other organisations. It is currently available to staff and volunteers through our internal systems, but work is underway to make this information publicly accessible this year, via Alzheimer's Society's website.
We hope that Dementia Connect will enable people with dementia, their carers and professionals to find and access as many local services and activities as possible, wherever they live in the country.
