Brent have made a commitment to become dementia friendly borough and we are proud of the work we have done already to support people living with dementia and their carers, but we know there is so much more we can achieve by harnessing the local community. Community Action on Dementia, Brent Council and Brent CCG held an event to publicise and engage people living with dementia, citizens, local businesses and the provider sector to rise to the challenge and help deliver the promise of a dementia-friendly Brent by 2020.
The 'Together for a Dementia-Friendly Brent 2020' conference took place at the Brent Civic Centre during Dementia Week.
Danny Maher – Chair of CAD-Brent said after the event ‘just the opportunity we needed to bring everyone together and commit to this vital vision of a dementia friendly place in Brent by 2020. Now is the time for action’.
