It is estimated that around 5,000 people in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan have dementia. It affects not only people with dementia but also their carers and loved ones.
In order to address this, a collaboration between Cardiff and Vale UHB, Cardiff Council and Vale of Glamorgan Council, the third sector and service users and carers, came together to create a Dementia Strategy, following on from a workshop held in March 2017.
