The Alzheimer's Society's Dementia Friendly Communities programme focuses on improving inclusion and quality of life for people with dementia in a number of ways. One of these ways is through the Dementia Friendly Communities recognition process, which encourages communities to sign up and work towards becoming dementia-friendly.
Working through the Burnley Dementia Action Alliance, Burnley Council has signed up to making the borough a dementia friendly community. Chair of the Burnley DAA is Councillor Margaret Lishman.
