Age and Dementia

We want to make Brighton & Hove a great place for everyone to age well. A city where older people, people living with dementia and their loved ones are valued and have the opportunities and support to keep doing the things they enjoy.

For more information on how we are working to achieve this ambition, including how to get involved and useful information to support you to age well please see the Brighton & Hove City Council website.

Become a Dementia Friend

Alzheimer’s Society’s Dementia Friends programme is the biggest ever initiative to change people’s perceptions of dementia. Becoming an Alzheimer’s Society Dementia Friend is about learning more about dementia and the small ways you can help to make a big difference. There are over 12,000 Dementia Friends in Brighton & Hove. To join this growing number of residents helping to combat loneliness and change people’s perceptions of dementia please book onto a free 30-45 minute session here.
