Registration for Dementia Friends Information Session for Rotary Clubs
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
During this friendly and interactive 45-minute Session, you'll learn more about dementia, how it affects a person and what you can do to help people affected by dementia in your community. Big or small, every action counts! We are also extending the invitation to our Rotary colleagues from the USA.
Rotarians Easing Problems of Dementia is an inter club and inter district network of Rotarians. REPoD encourages and supports Rotarians and Clubs to take local action to help people living with dementia and their families to live well. Individual Rotary Clubs do this in different ways; being involved in Memory Cafes, becoming Dementia Friends and Champions, supporting Local Dementia Action Alliances in the creation of Dementia Friendly Communities (http://www.repod.org.uk)
Here is Shila delivering a traditional face to face Dementia Friends Information Session to Rotarians from various local Rotary Clubs from across District 1090 in April 2019.
