VDFCA at the Dorset POPP Home Safety Event

Verwood and Three Legged Cross Dementia Friendly Community Association took a stand at the Dorset Partnership for Older People programme home safety event on Thursday 10th November.

This took dsc_0114shrunkplace in the Verwood Memorial Hall and was well attended both by the public and other agencies.

We were pretty busy all morning giving out leaflets and just hearing people’s experiences.  There was a lot of interest in the board which outlined our website and activities over the past 6 months.dsc_0118shrunk

We were pleased to be supported by the Mayor of Verwood, Mrs Susan Shaw pictured here with Sandra Grove, one of our steering group members  who was also the Mayor of Verwood last year.

We also advertised our information event on 26th January 2017 at the Town Council Offices in Verwood  from 3 – 4.30pm where tea and cakes will be served.  This is open to all members of the public who are interested in creating a more dementia friendly community.
