Our Dementia Ambassador is Councillor Brenda Smith. She was the primary carer for her husband, Alderman Jim Smith, who was diagnosed with dementia in 2009 and passed away in 2016.
Councillor Smith acts as a non-political ambassador to promote dementia services and champion the cause of the dementia-friendly community in Crawley.
Crawley Men’s Shed offers a workspace where men can work on practical projects with others.
People are welcome from anywhere in the surrounding area. The space is equipped with tools and materials donated by the public or local businesses and is free to attend.
The shed is suitable for people with mild memory issues or early stage dementia as well as carers of people with dementia.
If you are caring for someone with dementia, come along to the Forget-me-not club and meet other primary and secondary carers who know what it's like living with and/or supporting someone with Dementia.
