On Thursday 19 March 2020, the Eastbourne Dementia Action Alliance (EDAA) is launching its Eastbourne Dementia Friendly Community Charter. We want to sign up Charter Partners to help make Eastbourne and the surrounding areas even more Dementia friendly. There are three different types of Charter Partner:

Associates: organisations already providing Dementia friendly services and initiatives in Eastbourne. We will help promote what you do for people living with Dementia and / or their family, friends and carers. You will be listed on our website and invited to networking and engagement events.

Organisations: businesses, charities, church groups, clubs, community enterprises, councils, hospitality and leisure services, retailers, societies, voluntary groups etc. You may not do anything directly for people living with Dementia, but people you know may have personal experiences of the impact of Dementia. You will help raise awareness about Dementia by pledging to undertake at least two Dementia friendly activities – examples will be provided. You will be listed on our website and invited to networking and engagement events.

Individuals: people who could introduce us to others and / or potentially become Volunteers, Trustees or Dementia Champions, sharing knowledge and expertise to help us grow as a charity. You can choose whether to be listed on our website and will be invited to networking and engagement events. You will also pledge to undertake at least two Dementia friendly activities before being “signed up” as a Charter Partner.
