We have launched the Dover District Dementia Friendly Community (Dover District DFC). This is a working partnership of local Dementia Action Alliance groups, Dover District Council and Kent County Council staff, councillors, healthcare providers, local businesses and residents.
Dover District DFC meets every quarter to bring the community together, to find out what’s happening locally, learn from the wealth of knowledge on offer, and work together to help raise awareness of dementia across the district.
If you would like to attend the meetings, please contact community@dover.gov.uk (opens in new tab) .
