More information and education about how to help people living with dementia is to be made available in West Dunbartonshire after the council backed a call to become a dementia friendly community.
The number of individuals living with the condition in the local community sits at almost 1500.
During the most recent meeting of West Dunbartonshire council elected members agreed to mark Dementia Awareness Week which runs from May 29 until June 4 this year and to recognise the impact it has on the day to day lives of not only the individuals themselves, but also the lives of their families and friends.
