💙 Making Watford a more dementia-friendly place for everyone.

Last week, organisations from across Watford came together at Vicarage Road for the launch of the Dementia Friendly Hertfordshire Accreditation, a scheme designed to help organisations become more welcoming, accessible and inclusive for people living with dementia and those who support them.

The accreditation recognises the great work already happening across our town while encouraging more organisations to take practical steps to improve understanding, accessibility, communication and inclusion.

We're proud to see local partners working together to create a community where people living with dementia can stay connected, maintain their independence and continue taking part in the activities that matter most to them.

For more information, please visit: www.watfordfc.com/news/2026/october/05/trust--hornets-host-launch-of-dementia-friendly-accreditation/

The event was hosted in partnership with Watford FC CSE Trust, Memory Support Hertfordshire and Watford Council.
