'Dementia affects all of us.'
More information and education about how to help people living with dementia is to be made available in West Dunbartonshire after the council backed a call to become a dementia friendly community.
“The council recognises the positive links that have previously been made within our communities to assist those living with Dementia and agrees to work with partners to explore what more we can do and in particular the possibility of establishing a dementia friendly community here in West Dunbartonshire.”
Speaking about her motion, councillor Conaghan said: “Dementia I would say affects all of us as many of us will see a loved one suffer from this condition. “It is an umbrella term for a number of different conditions. People will be familiar with some including Alzheimer’s, Vascular Dementia and various others. It is only by educating ourselves that we can make a bit of a difference to the lives of those who have dementia and allow them to lead a life that actually is more fulfilling and is safer and more dignified.
Depute Labour leader Michelle McGinty agreed to support the motion as it would help the West Dunbartonshire Dementia Strategy Group, which has been operating since 2015, to continue its good work in supporting the community.
