Enhancing Dignity in Dementia in Cumbria & North Lancashire
Learn what you don’t know about dementia and so much more…
The number of people with dementia is growing and we want to help make their lives as normal and as positive as possible. We do this by providing:
- Educational sessions for family carers that help them connect more effectively with their family member with dementia, so that both the person with dementia and the carer have an improved quality of life. Currently these are via Microsoft Teams.
- A range of enjoyable dementia embracing community activities such as our Woodland Fun Group, Dementia Friendly Walking Group, Sociable Table Tennis, Silverdale singing group and Zoom Poetry Group that enable those affected by dementia to stay connected to their local communities and make new friends.
- A behavioural support service that provides advice to families who are struggling with problematic behaviours that their relative with dementia may be displaying.

Help support our community work for people with dementia and their family carers.
Our Approach
Our approach is to inform, support and inspire family carers and others. We do this through our ‘Feelings First’ approach to dementia care. We believe that by connecting to the way the person is likely to be feeling at any one time, it can help them to become more content and improve their wellbeing, which in turn then helps the wellbeing of the carer.
Our animations ‘I May Be Forgetful’ and ‘It Doesn’t Take Much To Improve My Day’, and our poem ‘What Do You See Now’ highlights the approach.
