FREE Dementia Awareness Training
Mid Ulster Volunteer Centre
Free Two hour Dementia Awareness Training delivered by Alzheimer's Society.
Alzheimer's Society has launched an exciting new programme focused on improving the inclusion and quality of life of people with dementia. Their dementia friendly communities programme aims to support and encourage villages, towns, cities and organisations to take concrete steps towards being more inclusive and supportive of people with dementia and their families.
Dementia friendly communities are villages, towns, cities and organisations who are working to challenge misunderstandings about dementia. Dementia friendly communities seek to improve the ability of people with dementia to remain independent and have choice and control over their lives.
Dementia friendly communities have the potential to transform the quality of life of hundreds of thousands of people, supporting their independence and reducing pressure on the NHS and social care system. As more people develop dementia it also makes good business sense for organisations to be thinking about how they can become more dementia friendly.

Volunteer NowTraining/AdviceThis free session will start with lunch at 12.30. About the session: As involvement in formal volunteering decreases and people seek more informal and flexible ways to contribute to their causes, charities need to adjust to this challenge. This requires a little disruptive and creative thinking, to reimagine involvement in the charities in new ways that are attractive to differing audiences. The session will explore the drivers for change, the potential advantages of a more flexible and diverse approach to volunteering and participation. It will encourage charity leaders to imagine whole new ways for people to contribute to their missions. We will explore micro-volunteering, coproduction and how to build communities of interest and boost lifetime value in participation. Chris Wade, Founder and Managing Director, Time for Impact.
