Age Connects in Neath Port Talbot is currently running Eng-AGE Dementia, a 6 month pilot awareness raising programme funded by the Integrated Care Fund. This programme which runs until the end of March 2019 is designed to help people to learn and understand more about dementia, the risks, the types, getting diagnosed and living with the disease.

During this period a number of Age Connects Neath Port Talbot staff, along with volunteers will receive dementia awareness training delivered either by workshop or by interactive digital training. The purpose is to ensure that Age Connects Neath Port Talbot is dementia friendly in its approach and practices. This will include both office based and community based staff and volunteers.

In addition, information leaflets have been produced and are available to help with raising awareness of dementia to help signpost anyone to the appropriate agencies and services should they have questions or concerns about dementia. These leaflets along with our EngAGE Dementia Co-ordinator will also be present at our community outreach groups and activities over the next few months.

History brought to life. On a Thursday afternoon in March in Onllwyn Miners Welfare Hall, the staff and volunteers at Age Connects Neath Port Talbot managed to take over 150 people back in time to the 1940s to celebrate Wales’ contribution to the World Wars.
