| Annotation | Seldom heard ethnic minority groups have played a vital role in making the London Borough of Brent dementia friendly. The author and colleagues report on Community Action for Dementia Brent (CADBrent), a dynamic social movement that also aims to make the Borough accessible to and inclusive for black and minority ethnic (BME) communities. They outline examples from CADBrent's voluntary action programme: the Dementia Peer Support Project; Dementia Friendly Mapesbury; the De-Caf (a memory cafe); Whole Street of Support; and The Shed. Another project, Partnerships in Innovative Education (PIE) is funded by Health Education England across north-west London, to provide an integrated approach to education and training for professionals with the aim of reducing the stigma of dementia, especially among BME groups.
