Dementia Carers Involvement Workshop

Dementia United

Dementia United is committed to honouring and demonstrating its commitment to ensure that its programme of work is “informed and driven by the lived experience and expertise of people living with dementia and those who care for them”.
The new governance arrangements recognises the important role and expertise of carers of people living with dementia and has provided them with a voting representative seat on both the Dementia United Strategic Board and the Dementia United Implementation and Operations Group, accompanied by a support lead from Tide. The Dementia United governance arrangements also make it explicit that a dementia carers’ expert reference group will be established to drive the work programme forward. 
Working in partnership, we want to ensure that we involve carers from across the whole of Greater Manchester and also ensure that the rich diversity of carer’s experiences is represented. The target audience for this workshop is facilitators of Carer Support Groups across GM (specifically those involving carers of people with dementia). We encourage applications from black and minority ethnic groups, carers of people with rarer dementias as well as carers of people with dementia with sensory impairments, carers of people with dementia from LGBTi communities, young carers and male carers.
