H&F Dementia Strategy- Local Stakeholders Survey

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.

Youth Council Survey

What is Make Your Mark?
Make Your Mark is the largest consultation of young people in the UK. It’s aim is to identify the top concerns of our young people to:

  1. Inform the UK Youth Parliament national manifesto campaign, which in recent years has included campaigns on mental health and improvements of mental health services, as well as Sex and Relationship Education and a Curriculum for Life.
  2. To inform the Hammersmith and Fulham’s Youth Council manifesto and extended engagement and consultation with young people in the borough, on the issues that matter most to them.
  3. Help schools and youth projects to identify the top issues of concern for their students/young people, to inform projects, initiatives etc.

The Vote
There are 2 votes on the ballot paper this year (1 vote on UK/Devolved topics and 1 on Local topics). Young people literally choose 1 of 10 options for the both votes, it’s as simple as that!

Usually we have paper (and exceed 4000 votes), but, given the current situation, we wanted to offer as many flexible options as possible for you to support the young people you know and work with to vote on the issues that matter most to them! So do use whatever option/or range of options that will work best for you at this time!

Options and Resources for Voting
Make Your Mark explainer video including the topics. This has been added to a youtube playlist, along with a BSL interpreted video and subtitled versions of the ten videos which are presented by the young people who suggested each topic: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLT6IPYyVXYWa5Y1et9_WhFtVOxl8iN3uB

A tally sheet to capture votes – Click here. If there are any opportunities to show the video in assemblies, form or other sessions then this is the easiest option. Young people can watch the video and hand vote for their issues. Votes can be collated on the tally sheet. Please send completed tally sheets to Brenda.Whinnett@lbhf.gov.uk by 27th November 2020. Happy to accept a photo or whatever works for you!

Online voting- young people can vote individually online- if you are not seeing young people/students in person. Are there any options for this to be sent out to them? Online voting runs until 1st December. Here is the link: https://www.ukparliamentweek.org/en/make-your-mark
