Resources published following the Life Changes Trust online conference: ‘Community and Dementia: Creating Better Lives in Fife’
The Life Changes Trust (this link will take you away form our website has published a report and recordings it ‘Creating Better Lives’ series of conferences, which are held across the country.
Like all of regional ‘Creating Better Lives’ conferences, this event was designed to help support local areas to think more deeply about how communities can uphold the human rights of people with dementia and unpaid carers.
At this conference, LCT heard:
- How ‘storytelling’ works to support people living with dementia and unpaid carers have their voices and reflections heard – what matters to them in their journey with dementia.
- What people living with dementia, their carers and those who work with them in Fife say are THEIR priorities in their own communities. These priorities emerged through a number of ‘storytelling’ sessions that the Trust ran in the lead up to the conference.
- Local projects and individuals from across Fife highlighting the work they continue to deliver and the support they continue to provide during COVID 19.
The learning from our storytelling sessions are written into a report and distilled to common themes.
After the conference, the Life Changes Trust put together a summary/evaluation report which includes a brief summary of the event, the identified local priorities, discussion points during the Q&A sessions about the local priorities and how local projects are being supported to deliver, and the key messages that people felt were important to influence change going forward.
You can access all reports as well as recordings from the conference here on their website(this link will take you away from our website).
