Dementia Friendly Communities Toolkit
Over the past four years, the Life Changes Trust has funded a large number of dementia friendly communities across Scotland. We have learned a lot from these communities and have used the learning to date to design this toolkit.

Create successful ePaper yourself
Turn your PDF publications into a flip-book with our unique Google optimized e-Paper software.
It is useful to keep a pictorial, or similar, timeline of the development of<br />
your dementia friendly community so that people can see at a glance.<br />
Paint a realistic picture of where you have come from and a vision of<br />
where you want to be in, say, two years’ time.<br />
Celebrate important occasions and significant milestones. Say ‘thank<br />
you’ swiftly and regularly to everyone who contributes something to<br />
the community, no matter how small the contribution. Sometimes the<br />
seemingly smaller gifts have involved more sacrifice.<br />
