The LWwD programme is a community-based programme which focuses on the strengths and personhood of the individual. Our vision is: that people living with dementia live in a community that respects, supports, values and empowers them, and a community where they can participate in a safe environment as a valued citizen. LWwD listens to the person with dementia, their primary carers and families, in order to identify, develop and deliver effective supports. We work collaboratively with them and other key stakeholders to ensure that people with a dementia diagnosis are supported to remain living at home and active in their community for as long as possible. Our key message is to See the Person not their Dementia. LWwD has pioneered a wide variety of supports for people with dementia and those who care for them. These include;
• Public Awareness training • Information and education • Family/Carer training • Befriending • The Memory Harbour
