Don't forget that there is now a group of local volunteers - Dementia Friendly Charlbury (DFC) - who want the town to be a friendly and welcoming place for everyone to live, especially people with memory and thinking problems. Too often such problems lead to physical and emotional isolation. Our vision is for a community in which residents, businesses and organisations are supportive to people with memory and thinking problems so that affected people, families and carers are able to live well in our town.

DFC has carried out a quick survey via key locations in the town inviting people with memory problems and/or people who are caring for them to help us find out what is needed. We have had a limited response which indicated that most people were satisfied with the facilities and help available to them but which did suggest that somewhere to meet people in similar circumstances would be appreciated.

There may be other views of which we need to be aware and we are keen to get wider feedback.

We are running a series of articles in the Charlbury Chronicle about dementia and what it means for individuals and families affected by memory problems. These are re-printed on our page in the Community section of www.charlbury.info - click on Charity and World.

If you have any comments or concerns to pass on to the DFC group -- or if you would like to join us -- you can contact us via Sue Smith on 07833 952514.
