Dementia: Wristband scheme ‘a positive first’ for NI

Wiltshire Police, Greater Manchester Police and Avon and Somerset Police also gave out wristbands.

Stormont’s Heath Minister Mike Nesbitt said he welcomed the scheme, adding it could change people’s lives for the better.

“Any new and innovative ideas that improve the lives of individuals living with dementia in Northern Ireland are welcomed,” Mr Nesbitt said.

A spokesperson for Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council said: “This project is an example of community planning at its best.

“Following an approach from Age Concern Causeway, the community planning team in council brought together several supporting partners,” they continued.

“It is with great delight that we have been able to assist Age Concern Causeway in bringing about the successful development of this support scheme.”
