Age Scotland is proud to host About Dementia: Shaping Our Worlds Together – Scotland’s forum for improving lives. Funded for five years by Life Changes Trust, we work with people affected by dementia across Scotland to shape the policy and practice that affects them in everyday life. Launched in 2019, we have been travelling around Scotland to find out what needs to change for people living with dementia and those who care for them, and what we can do together to make these changes happen. The project covers many areas of life, including transport, housing, human rights, and prevention of dementia.
We have launched a manifesto ahead of the 2021 Scottish Parliament Elections. Our manifesto looks at the challenges facing people living with dementia and unpaid carers and the impact on their human rights. We're asking all of Scotland’s political parties to adopt it as a blueprint for making these rights a reality.
