Dementia support in Horsham District

We are committed to making Horsham District a dementia-friendly District, where people with dementia are empowered to have aspirations and feel confident, knowing they can contribute and participate in activities meaningful to them. People with dementia, and their carers, will be consulted and listened to and will feel included in our community.

How you can help

There are a number of ways you can get involved in helping to make Horsham District more dementia-friendly.

Join the Horsham District Dementia Action Alliance

The Horsham District Dementia Action Alliance is made up of local organisations who are committed to making the area a safe and rewarding place for people with dementia to live, work and visit – and for carers to feel adequately supported.

Each member organisation has created an action plan outlining how they will support people with dementia, and their carers. Every individual, club, group, service and organisation has a valuable part to play and if we all work together, we can help to create a truly dementia friendly district.

To join the Horsham District Dementia Action Alliance or talk about working with us to improve services for people with dementia and their carers, please contact email community.development@horsham.gov.uk.
