We meet to influence and support the development of Leeds as a dementia friendly city.
Up and Go was formed by people with dementia who are involved in projects at Leeds Playhouse and Leeds City Council’s Peer Support Service for people living with dementia. We are supported by staff from both organisations and Dementia Friendly Leeds (Leeds Older People’s Forum).
We have consulted on issues including public transport and academic research design and are regular consultees on dementia-friendly performances and arts events, both locally and nationally.
Our group is delivered as a partnership between:
