Dementia Project 

Reaching People is working with Alzheimer’s Research UK to deliver the Dementia Community Champions programme in Leicester. 
 
Dementia Community Champions are volunteers trained by Alzheimer’s Research UK to increase knowledge and understanding of dementia, its causes, symptoms, and diagnosis, brain health and the steps we can all take to reduce our risk of getting dementia and the importance of taking part in research. 
 
Dementia awareness events will be taking place across Belgrave, Hamilton, Rushey Mead, Highfields and Evington between May and October 2025. For more information on the initiative, please contact Bharti Mistry on 07308 146194 or via email at bharti@reachingpeople.co.uk 
 
If nothing changes, 1 in 2 of us will see our lives devastated by dementia, either by caring for someone with the condition, developing it ourselves, or both.
