CONGRATULATIONS to Abergele Town Council - Offical Affiliate of DFA (Renewal)

Last Thursday, Chairman David Gozzard and DF Ambassador Mel Gizzi presented Mayor Cllr Diane Green with a Certificate of Recognition at the main chambers.

Abergele Town Council has been engaged with DFA since the Steering Group's inception, with three councillors actively participating in monthly meetings, contributing valuable local knowledge and ideas. Thank you to Cllr Alan Hunter, Cllr Shirley Jones-Roberts and Cllr Ann Williamson.

All council members are Dementia Friends, with some refreshing their training annually. The Mayor or Deputy Mayor consistently attends our public events, boosting awareness of our initiatives.

We appreciate the opportunity to share DFA communications in the quarterly newsletter distributed in Abergele.

An exciting development is the town’s new online directory QR Boxx, which showcases organisations and displays 'Dementia Friendly' and 'Safe Spaces' in the town for easier identification.

We look forward to the planned enhancements to the Town Hall to create a more dementia-friendly environment, starting with replacing the black mat.

Thank you for being part of DFA! The Town Council's involvement greatly benefits the community and amplifies our message.
