Our long-awaited Safe Places scheme is about to go live!At a meeting at The Edgar Hall (TA11 6SB) on Wednesday 22nd May at 2pm we will launch the scheme in detail, providing posters, small cards and the necessary information on how to handle a situation where someone is lost or disorientated in our town.
Recently, a gentleman was found wandering, confused and obviously lost, and was helped by a quick-thinking passer-by. We will be re-living this experience with most of the people concerned and showing how our new scheme will smooth the process of re-uniting them with their family or carer.
We will also be running three Dementia Friends information sessions on the same day, in the Edgar Hall at 12 noon, 1 and 3pm, so you can find out, in simple, non-medical terms, how Dementia affects those living with it.
Everyone is welcome to attend, it's free, there is plenty of parking and refreshments will be served.
