Dementia Friendly Mid and East Antrim
Mid and East Antrim have committed to becoming a Dementia Friendly Borough through their Community Plan, “Putting People First”.
A number of activities and support services are available throughout the Borough for anyone impacted by Dementia, as well as free awareness training for residents and organisations who wish to become ‘Dementia Friendly’.

Support for Community Activities
If you currently offer Dementia-specific activities or support in the Mid and East Antrim area, or would like to start up a new Dementia activity, we would love to hear from you.
Pre-Visit Guides
Pre-visit accessibility guides are a great help for disabled people, and if relevant their carers, to plan for a rewarding day trip or as part of a longer break.
Two guides have been produced through a recent dementia friendly heritage project led by Council and funded through the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
The guides are for The Heritage Hub at Carnlough Town Hall and Whitehead Railway Museum.
You can find some background on the project and a link to both guides on the Railway Preservation Society of Ireland website.
