A Special Invitation
Stroud Dementia Action Alliance Launch
St Laurence Church
​Friday 23rd May, 10.00am-12 noon
Picture
Do join us for the inaugural meeting of the Stroud Dementia Action Alliance (DAA), a new partnership dedicated to making Stroud a more dementia-friendly and inclusive place for everyone.
​

Dementia touches many in our community — directly and indirectly. The Dementia Action Alliance brings together local people, organisations, businesses, and services to work collaboratively towards a more inclusive, supportive, accepting and understanding community. By joining forces, we can ensure that people living with dementia and their carers feel active, valued, and included in every aspect of community life.
