The Dementia Friendly Communities Reference Group are a group of people and organisations who have been our sounding board throughout this programme of work. They have helped to shape the projects we’ve worked on and been involved in the design and production of this website. The Reference Group is made up of people living with dementia, Carers, professionals and people who have an interest in dementia.

We’d like to thank everyone for their contribution towards making Kent a Dementia Friendly Community. Not everyone who was part of the group has a website but those who do are listed below:
