Dementia Friendly Dunblane is a formal working group of Dunblane Development Trust. A steering group including individuals with the lived experience of dementia and their care partners work with businesses, schools & churches to raise awareness of dementia in the community.

We aim to support individuals with dementia and their care partners to live a fulfilled life in a supported community and to eradicate the stigma associated with dementia.

These supports individuals with dementia and their family carer to enjoy fun and stimulating activities in a supported environment. Volunteers can attend either of two weekly Meeting Centres at the Braeport Centre: Wednesdays from 1 to 4 pm and Fridays from 11 to 3 pm where lunch is provided.
