Dementia affects 1 in 11 people aged 65 years+ in the UK, In Brent alone it’s estimated that around 2000 people are currently living with dementia. Ashford Place is proud to have founded Community Action on Dementia (CAD Brent) seeking to help those in the local community living with dementia, with Ashford Place acting as its delivery partner.
CAD Brent is made up of a group of volunteers working with and alongside residents, businesses, faith communities and community organisations, aiming to make Brent a dementia friendly borough. This will improve the standard of living for not only these individuals but also their friends and family supporting them. CAD Brent’s aims are towards peer support, raising dementia awareness and increasing community connections.
