The Exeter Dementia Action Alliance – Working together for a Dementia Friendly Exeter

The past year has been immensely challenging for everyone, especially people affected by dementia. As we finally emerge into Spring and a relaxation of the lockdown, everybody connected with the Alliance wishes you a safe and enjoyable time.

For information about Coronavirus for people affected by dementia please go to the Alzheimer’s Society website.

We believe that a dementia friendly Exeter requires greater community awareness and opportunities to live well with dementia.

We understand that change comes when people commit to practical actions that help build a dementia friendly community.

With over 850,000 people living with a dementia diagnosis in the country and no cure yet, it is vital we continue to consider how as a society we can collaborate and make a difference for those living with the condition and their families.

As an Alliance we value all of our members and supporters across the city and beyond who are behind our mission and make the alliance what it has become today, we thank you all.
