It was an absolute joy to celebrate the official opening of the new Dementia-friendly Alton centre at Edgar Hall, which will transform dementia support services for those living locally. Made possible by National Lottery Funding, the team is now able to offer a five day programme of activities and 'tea and chat' sessions, plus specific activities for those with an early onset diagnosis.

Home-based activities are also now available for those unable to physically attend Edgar Hall or the sister site at Alton Community Centre. This is a first for any dementia support organisation in Hampshire and should bring enormous benefits to those living with a dementia diagnosis.

Dementia Friendly Alton are sharing the building with Alton Men's Shed - true community partnership in action! 

My thanks to Karen and the team for getting the project off the ground.

Dementia Friendly communities

I am delighted to be working with the members of Dementia Friendly Petersfield to support the initiative to increase the awareness and understanding of dementia across the town, so those affected feel more supported by the businesses and services they rely on.
