Croeso / Welcome

Welcome one and all to our first ever North Wales Locality Newsletter. These will be sent out electronically as widely as possible, so if you haven't had this sent to you directly and would like one in the future please let us know and we’ll add you to our mailing list. Of course we will also be printing a limited amount, so are happy to arrange for one to be sent if you do not have access to a computer. As well as containing some very useful information and advice, this newsletter is a perfect opportunity to spread the news and showcase the wide range of services and activities we offer, as well as celebrating some of our successes! Most importantly, we will use it to tell you about up and coming events and services, with contact details, to make sure you know what’s on and opportunities aren't missed. The newsletter will be produced quarterly so that the information is as up to date as possible. By the next edition, in the Autumn, our Wrexham Memory Walk will have taken place, so we will be featuring photos of the day so make sure you’re there to take part and help us to raise awareness and funding. I am sure you’ll find this Newsletter useful and entertaining, so pass it onto others so that we can spread the information far and wide. Best wishes,

Ffrindiau Dementia Friends

Dementia Friends is a social action movement funded by the Department of Health for England and the Cabinet Office, and is led by the Alzheimer’s Society as a strand of its work to create Dementia Friendly Communities. The goal is to enable people to live well with dementia and feel part of their community, by improving the understanding of dementia for 1 million people in society and inspiring them to take action and allow stigma to be alleviated. A Dementia Friend is someone who has attended a one hour information session and has committed to an action which will make the lives of people living with dementia a little bit better. Anyone of any age can be a Dementia Friend and every action counts—from helping someone to find the right bus to spreading the word about dementia on social media. Every Dementia Friend will receive a badge and an information card. This campaign is being delivered in order to pass along the 5 key messages which we feel everyone should know about dementia. It is not a substitute for training, but is rather an appetiser to allow somebody to form a basic foundation for their understanding. It is also great for employers to be able to demonstrate that their workforce is dementia friendly! All that is required is 60 minutes of your time, and a room where people can sit comfortably.

Dementia Awareness Week is a flagship awareness-raising campaign in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. 2014’s primary aim was to raise awareness of Alzheimer’s Society and to raise funds in local communities and increase our supporter base. Under the umbrella of ’What’s on your mind?’, we took three common ideas about finding it difficult to talk about concerns and paired them with simple imagery—these were: Don’t bottle it up; Don’t bury your head in the sand; and Don’t brush it under the carpet. The simple call to action is to ‘Talk to us today’ and is aimed at anybody who has an immediate and/or serious concern about dementia—either for themselves, a family member or a friend; and for them to recognise the Alzheimer’s Society as the ’go to’ place tor dementia. With staff taking part in the Community Roadshow, Dementia Friends Sessions, Networking Events and Presentations, we were working to improve local understanding and awareness.

Jacky Baldini, Sue Brockley, Rhoda Highton, Liz Wilks and Bev Perkins were given the Mold Marquee privilege of using the P + A Garden Centre in This year, we also held a Marquee at Mold as a further venue to promote our local Mold Market Day to give local residents services in North Wales, and maintain the the option to discuss any concerns with proactive approach to Dementia Awareness the staff, and to further promote our Week. services.

North Wales Services

Dementia Support Service Dementia Support Workers provide one to one support to people with dementia, carers and family members. The service is unique to the personal circumstances and information support required. A dementia support worker might provide information and practical support to help people understand more about dementia and support a family to live well with dementia. The service provided by the dementia support workers is not the same as the roles of social workers or community psychiatric nurses, but they may well compliment their work. They will continue to support the individuals for as long as is needed and when the support needs have been met the service will close, but they can come back to the service at any time. ADVOCACY Befriending ‘Voice and Choice’ will help any person with a diagnosis of dementia (and those The one-to-one Befriending service going through the diagnosis process) will connect a person with dementia to with any decision in their lives; and shall a trained volunteer to give them the empower and support them.

It works by a range of interest groups being developed in partnership with Adult Community Education; allowing people to attend the fun taster session courses, and then be signposted on to continuing opportunities in their communities. This is a chance to try something new, or to rediscover a past interest — as well as tackle social isolation and build confidence by keeping mentally, socially and physically active, whilst working towards Alzheimer’s Society’s vision to create Dementia Friendly Communities. Courses have already begun in North Wales including art; creative writing; sugar crafting; DIY and IT. For their Summer Plans, the team are considering courses such as Fishing, Gardening and Woodland Skills.

Football Friendly

Liz Wilks, Befriending Manager, set up a Football Side by Side Befriending Group, which has gone from strength to strength! This service offers social contact to people with dementia who want to continue to share their passion for the sport. The group volunteers use football images and memorabilia to revive memories of players, matches, goals and incidents from their footballing past consequently encouraging meaningful conversation. These footballing memories can trigger a recollection of other events and stories from the person’s life. She is currently running one in Wrexham whereby 5 gentlemen are supported by football fans of Wrexham FC. Meeting at Wrexham Football Stadium, The Racecourse, they are lucky enough to be able to use a couple of the Corporate Boxes—one for the group and the other for the carers to meet for a coffee and a chat. Of course, the group lasts 90 minutes—although no pie and pint at half time!
