Wrexham Dementia Action Alliance has been set up voluntarily to form a Dementia-Friendly Community, to help raise awareness, improve understanding and give people suffering from Dementia a better quality of life.

 

Description

 

We believe that people with dementia have the right to a good quality of life and to remain independent in their local community. We also believe that people with dementia have the right to live well, engage in and contribute to their local communities, as long as they wish to do so.
 

We aim to address negative attitudes and raise awareness and understanding of dementia.
 

Anita Moran, Founder, Care Practitioner and Purple Angel Ambassador

Anita works in a local care home and witnesses the daily impact on people living with dementia and their family. Anita has first hand experience of how to improve a person's quality of life and raise standards of care. She believes this could be achieved in the community if more people had a better understanding.
