Dear Fairlight Residents,
Please will you share the following:
A big thank you to all who came along to the Fairlight Dementia Friends training this afternoon. It was fantastic to welcome Sally Hemmings, Chair of Bexhill Dementia Action Alliance, to share with us her wide experience of being a Dementia Friend. Sally taught us about different forms of dementia, how this can affect life and how to be a good dementia friend. Naomi from Rother Voluntary Action spoke about the ways similar groups in other areas are helping their communities. There was time for questions and sharing ideas of what next we might try in Fairlight to help people with Dementia and their carers. As there were 26 of us there was lots of discussion over cake and we will take a look at all the ideas to see what the next step in Fairlight will be. Please do let Wendy Hatch or Sandi Wickens know your ideas and needs too.
God bless,
Sandi
