WELCOME TO DEMENTIA DOORS

THE REASON WHY

There is currently no cure for Dementia and a diagnosis does not just affect the individual but the families, friends and the local communities of those impacted.

‘Dementia Doors’ is a program that aligns with your CSR and employee wellbeing/ engagement goals. It is tangible and measurable with clear outcomes and benefits.

YOUR COMPANY

Your company quite literally holds the key to unlocking the ‘Dementia Doors for your workforce and your local community.

It is estimated that currently in the UK over 982,000 people are living with dementia with numbers expected to grow to 1.7m by 2040 but that is only part of the story. Dementia is a disease with life-changing consequences not just for those diagnosed but for families, friends and the broader community.

YOUR EMPLOYEES

How many of your employees are actively supporting someone with dementia or face the prospect of diagnosis within their lifetime? Understanding, supporting and learning how this disease works is crucial to everyone.

Here at Dementia Active we have created a program called ‘Dementia Doors’. This program aligns with your company’s commitment to social responsibility and community wellbeing. It demonstrates a genuine commitment to social impact and inclusivity. Through this program employees will gain a deeper understanding of dementia fostering empathy and inclusivity in the workplace.
