Dementia Friendly Community

Madeley Practice, Madeley Parish Council and Madeley & District Community Association have joined forces to make Madeley a Dementia Friendly Community.  Brigitte Knowles, who is the Elderly Care Facilitator at Madeley Practice, has already been very proactive in offering free Dementia Awareness Information Sessions (supported by the Alzheimer’s Society), which 75 people have attended so far.  Information regarding future sessions can be obtained from Brigitte on 01782 750274.

 

We have been running Music for Memories sessions in the Madeley Centre, which have proven to be beneficial to older people and carers.  Professional musicians run the sessions, and cover songs from the First World War to the present day.  These sessions have been funded by the Parish Council & Borough Council.  We are hoping to bring these sessions back in September.  They are open to all and are free of charge.  Please contact Debbie Burns on 01782 751164 for further information.

 

One in fourteen people over 65 have a diagnosis of dementia, making it very likely that we all know someone who is living with dementia.  We are committed to raising awareness of the problems surrounding people with dementia and their carers.  Knowing more about dementia, and how you can support people in their everyday activities is a positive move for everyone in our community.

Help us to make MADELEY a Dementia Friendly Community!

BMX Track – Views sought:

Here’s an appeal from our Borough Councillor on a possible BMX track & views / feedback are requested:

Dear friends and everyone in the community
Would you give me your thoughts or even put things in writing or an email or text on here Please!
Over the years we have been trying to locate a site for a BMX track for the youths of today to enjoy
Finally we have found a plot to use this piece of land, which is down Furness lane past the one stop shop. I would be grateful for your responses to the future of the project So that the parish council will go forward with the plans for the BMX park/track etc
If not then we will be looking for alternative ideas to help our youths of today
Would everyone share this post so I can report all your view and comments back to the parish?
Kind regards
Simon
There is a lot of people in our community that are not on face book or have emails and not have access to a computer
We must inform everyone in our village Know what is going on in our community
Would everyone seeing this post put your responses on here!
I will then put a notice in the next parish leaflet which is due out shortly To inform everyone in our rural community
