Dementia Friends

Jeremy Wilson volunteered to be a Dementia Friends Champion which means he has undergone training with the Alzheimer's Society Dementia Friends programme, to provide one-hour information sessions to help members of the public understand what it might be like to live with dementia to help make the area more dementia friendly and improve the lives of some of the 670,000 people currently living with the condition.

Jeremy will be delivering Dementia Friends sessions to people across the Orpington area over the coming months.  If you are interested in attending a session or would like to arrange a time for Jeremy to deliver a session to people in your organisation please email benjamin.mercer@cwj.co.uk.

If you would like to volunteer as a Dementia Friends Champion to be able to deliver these sessions yourself to the public visit www.dementiafriends.org.uk

"I signed up to be a Dementia Friends Champion because in my role as head of Wills & Administration of Estates at CWJ and with the ageing population, it's become apparent to me that dementia is very common and I believe people need to be better informed about the disease to take better action for themselves and their loved ones.

Getting involved was easy, I signed up through the website and attended a one day training course on how to deliver the sessions.  I'm so proud to be part of a growing network of people helping to create dementia friendly communities across England."
