About Dementia Friendly Cardiff

Cardiff Council and Cardiff and Vale University Health Board are working together to make Cardiff a Dementia Friendly City.

This movement will encourage and support organisations, local businesses and community groups in the city to become more dementia friendly and provide better support for people living with dementia and their families.
