Each Help Point will have a different way of supporting their community.

We provide you with a range of free resources and guidance, but encourage each Help Point to develop your service to meet the needs of your own community and to be led by the wishes of the families living with dementia you work with.

For some Help Points this will be displaying and sharing our resources, while others may want to make playlists for their service users or incorporate music into their existing activities.
