About Dementia Friendly Keighley

Dementia Friendly Keighley is a community-focused initiative dedicated to creating a supportive environment for individuals living with dementia and their families. Our mission is to raise awareness about dementia, reduce stigma, and promote understanding within the local community.

We work collaboratively with local businesses, healthcare providers, and community organizations to ensure that Keighley becomes a truly dementia-friendly town. Our core activities include training sessions for staff in various sectors, providing resources and information to families, and organizing community events that foster inclusivity.

At Dementia Friendly Keighley, we believe that everyone has a role to play in supporting those affected by dementia. We aim to empower individuals and communities through education and engagement, ensuring that people living with dementia can lead fulfilling lives.

• Community Engagement: We actively involve local residents in our initiatives, encouraging them to participate in discussions and activities that promote understanding of dementia.
• Training Programs: Our training programs equip local businesses and organizations with the knowledge and skills needed to support customers and clients living with dementia.
• Support Services: We provide information and resources to families navigating the challenges of dementia, helping them find the support they need.

Our vision is to create a community where individuals living with dementia are valued, respected, and included in all aspects of life. Together, we can make Keighley a beacon of hope and support for those affected by dementia.
