Western Vale Family Practice is an active member of the Dementia Friendly Cowbridge initiatives in Cowbridge and Llantwit Major. In short, the aim is to create a community that gives a voice to those living with Dementia and supports them to live independently and well.

The aim is for Cowbridge and Llantwit Major to become places where people living with Dementia can continue to prosper and enjoy life, safe in the knowledge that the wider community is understanding and supportive of their needs.

We have committed to becoming a Dementia Friendly Town and are now calling on public, private, and third-sector services to join a social movement across the towns that is improving the lives of people affected by Dementia.

Dementia Friendly Communities is a program developed by the Alzheimer’s Society that raises awareness about Dementia and encourages organisations, local businesses, community groups, and members of the public to share the responsibility for ensuring people with dementia feel understood, valued, and able to contribute to their communities.

The best part about it is that people affected by Dementia will be able to feel safe in the knowledge that their needs will be supported by local businesses and the community, and we are all contributing to creating a Dementia Friendly Cowbridge and a Dementia Friendly Llantwit Major.
