Managing Memory 2gether Information Resource
This booklet has been produced to
support staff working with people with
dementia and their carers to be
aware of specific services in
Gloucestershire for people from BME
communities.
The aim is for the booklet to be online resource which means that as
services change or new services are developed the resource can be
updated.
A copy of the booklet will be published on the Trust intranet and
website under Managing Memory pages.
If you are aware of new services or data within the resource that
needs updating please contact Managing Memory 2gether
If you have any comments, or suggestions on how the resource can
be improved please contact Kathy Holmes 0800 694 8800 or email
The key objectives of the team are to enable and assist people from BME and migrant communities to access appropriate services and maximise their own, or their families’ independence.
The team will also work alongside and provide advice and guidance to teams and services within GCC as well as health and voluntary sector services where there are barriers to accessing services.
