What is the Dementia friendly sports clubs and venues guide?
Visiting sports clubs and venues to watch live sport can cause challenges for people living with dementia that may not always be obvious.
Dementia friendly sports clubs and venues is a practical guide for those organisations wishing to tackle these challenges by becoming more accessible and inclusive for people affected by dementia.
The guide aims to support individuals working to make their club or venue dementia friendly by:
- educating them about how dementia affects people and the unique challenges that arise in a club or venue environment
- offering practical recommendations so people affected by dementia can continue feeling supported, access community activities, and keep spectating at live events
- explaining how to support their own staff affected by dementia and how to signpost them to our services
- providing guidance on how they can set up, maintain, or improve their own community activities for people affected by dementia
- sharing good practice and creative ideas from other clubs and venues across the sector.
