Achievements and Performance

|---|---|---|
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | We are a unique, established and developing local rural charity working differently with people living with dementia and their families in the five rural parishes of Wembury, Brixton, Yealmpton, Newton Ferrers and Noss Mayo and Holbeton in the South Hams. In brief we work differently because we recognise how vitally important it is that people living with dementia and their families continue to be valued, visible and active in their community, instead of being separated off into groups available only to people with dementia. We take a different approach, a community wide approach. This involves changing the way all of us think about dementia. |
Our strap line is We can’t change the person living with dementia, but we can change the experience they have in their community. We work with our local shops, businesses, and organisations, offering information and raise awareness to promote a better understanding of what it means to live with dementia. In this way our community opens up opportunities for people living with dementia and other people living with hidden disabilities. In this way people living with dementia and their families find it possible to make new friends and still have fun alongside members of their community in inclusive activities where everyone feels valued and an important part of the groups. We know from feedback that people living with dementia feel that they have been welcomed and look forward to the next meeting … and equally importantly carers feel supported.
