Dementia Pathfinders partners with Agewell in the West Midlands to deliver an innovative project called 'Thinking Differently About Dementia' . Funded by the National Lottery for 3-years, a key objective of 'Thinking Differently About Dementia' is to establish two 'Meeting Centres' in Sandwell to provide post diagnosis support for people living with mild or moderate dementia and their family carers.

 

'Thinking Differently About Dementia' is led by a a Project Co-ordinator, Melanie Charters and staffed by Dementia Wellbeing Adviser, Faye White and Dementia Support Workers, Viv Allen and Amy Cowley. Working alongside statutory and third sector partners, and in close collaboration with Dementia Navigators and Dementia Advisers from Sandwell Community Dementia Service, 'Thinking Differently About Dementia' seeks to strengthen support for people with dementia following a diagnosis of any kind of dementia, and provide additional information and support for their families, supporters and carers.

Aims:​

• Guide you and your family through what can be done now to better prepare for the future

• Encourage you and your family carers to take part in enjoyable activities in the community

• Help you to make the most of your life after diagnosis
