The Dementia and Housing Working Group (DHWG) is excited to launch the webinar series focused on housing and dementia.

This session will explore innovative approaches to building dementia-friendly communities, with a focus on the latest research surrounding the wellbeing of individuals living with dementia. Key topics will include community development, social innovation, and personalised support, alongside a spotlight on a local example of Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) in Gloucestershire.

This webinar is aimed at anyone involved in housing and dementia, particularly housing providers, designers, architects, local authorities, people living with dementia and their families.
