The Dementia Friendly Venues Charter from The Mayor of London is for cultural public spaces. It aims to transform cultural venues for people living with dementia and their carers through a range of dementia-friendly resources including inclusive performances, dedicated relaxed sessions, clear signage, designated chill out zones and staff training. The Charter was devised in collaboration with Alzheimer’s Society and the Museum of London.
Organisations that sign up to the Charter also become part of a Dementia Friendly Arts and Culture Network, delivered by the Museum of London, to share best practice. They will be able to access guidance and materials to help staff and volunteers become Dementia Friends and Dementia Champions, as well as new advice and support from Alzheimer’s Society to help them become more dementia friendly.
