This is a difficult time for us all and I hope you are safe and well. I’m writing to ask for your help in improving the lives of people and their families who are living with dementia in our borough. We need your help to become a Dementia-Friendly borough by 2022. This means we want to work with local organisations, residents and others to make Hammersmith & Fulham a community where people with dementia are truly understood, respected and supported. Your responses will form a key part of the Dementia Strategy and Action Plan we will be creating to realise this vision. As part of this, we’re trying to get a better picture of how local stakeholders from across the community may or may not already be helping people with dementia – and I’d be very grateful if you could take a few minutes to answer the question below by Wednesday 24th February 2021. You’ll note that one of the questions asks if you’d like to get more involved. Perhaps you’d like some dementia training – or maybe you’ve got tips you could share with other organisations? If you would like to be part of an ongoing conversation about improving the services for families affected by dementia, we would like to keep in touch with you. The survey should only take a few minutes. There are no right or wrong answers and your answers will be confidential.
