Local Assembly Member Paul Davies has pledged to become a Dementia Friend at an event hosted by the Alzheimer’s Society as part of Dementia Action Week 2018. Dementia Action Week runs from the 21st -27th May and aims to encourage people to take action to improve the lives of those affected by dementia, working to create a dementia-friendly UK where those with dementia do not feel excluded.
He said, “I’m pleased to once again show my support for Dementia Action Week and help raise awareness of the impact that dementia has in communities across Pembrokeshire. It’s crucial that we all try to gain a better understanding of the needs of people living with dementia so that we can take steps to make life easier for those people in the future. Therefore, I look forward to continuing to work with the Alzheimer’s Society and local groups and organisations to develop community-based solutions and make Pembrokeshire as dementia friendly as possible.”
