Dementia Friendly

Dover District - Dementia Friendly Communities 

De_Dover logo

Dover District Council has launched the ‘Dover District – Dementia Friendly Community’ (Dover District DFC). This is a working partnership of local Dementia Action Alliance groups, Dover District Council & Kent County Council staff, councillors, health & care providers, local businesses and residents. The Dover District DFC meets every quarter to bring the community together, to find out what’s happening locally across the district; learn from the wealth of knowledge and diverse experience on offer, as well as work together to help raise awareness of Dementia across the district. 

If you would like to attend the Dover District DFC meetings, please contact community@dover.gov.uk.
