What is Dementia Friends?
Dementia Friends is a social action movement designed so that anyone can get involved and not only improve their understanding of dementia but also contribute to making their community more dementia-friendly. The Dementia Friends programme aims to change the way the nation thinks, acts and talks about Dementia.
Are you looking for a place to pursue practical interests, share skills, and enjoy some good company? Look no further than Men’s Sheds! These unique spaces offer a welcoming environment where individuals can come together to work on projects, learn new skills, and build lasting friendships. Whether it’s woodworking, metalworking, electronics, or even car building, there’s something for everyone. Unlike the solitary nature of traditional garden sheds, Men’s Sheds are fantastic for fostering social connectedness.
We will be hosting the next Social Connectedness Event at The Lime Tree in Matlock
Organised by Amanda, Derbyshire Dales CVS Social Connectedness Development Worker, this event will feature a Community Group Marketplace.
It is aimed at groups in the Derbyshire Dales, with a focus on Matlock and the surrounding area.
Voluntary and Community Organisations of all kinds are encouraged to participate and showcase their groups to the public.
Derbyshire County Council want to gauge interest in resurrecting the 50+ forum meetings/group previously held in the Matlock area.
The group would focus on social networking between members, fun and entertainment, mixed with information and advice from speakers and local services. The in-person group previously folded due to a lack of local volunteers able to serve on the management committee which are essential for the group to run.
