The Aims of the Forest of Dean District Dementia Action Alliance are:
- The overarching aim of the Forest of Dean District Dementia Action Alliance (FODD DAA) is to make sure that everyone in the district living with dementia is respected and enabled to continue to enjoy living their lives in their own community as well as possible for as long as possible.
- To support the wider community to understand dementia and inspire and enable people to do things which contribute to a dementia friendly community, which are generally more welcoming communities.
- To develop a network of local community champions who will support each other and the wider community.
- To establish and maintain effective support through information sharing networks
- To ensure that the voices of people with dementia, their carers and families are heard and guide the work of the Dementia Action Alliance
