Who Said It

Wouldn’t Work?? 

Hiya all, well, the way we are running the Torbay Dementia Action Alliance has been discussed,

dissected and yes, sometimes, even derided!!! Our approach of doing this from the bottom upwards

without the need for “Criteria, work streams, and being evidence based is not welcomed by some

who want to do lots of what they call “research “ first to see what people with dementia and their

carers need.

We have already done this by having people with Dementia and their carers on the steering groups

and advising which way is best to approach this (SIMPLES !!) thus we have people (Volunteers) on

the ground who are either living with this awful disease or have cared for people with it for many

years. These are the REAL people who will make a difference. As you know we have taken the

“Inverted Triangle” approach. This is quite simply where you turn the triangle upside down and allow

those at the bottom to run the things that need running on the ground (those with the day to day

experience) and then filter it up to those who need to know, and this in turn, hopefully takes a little

pressure off the bosses!!LOL.

So, who said it wouldn’t work??? Please Read on. 

Last week we signed up the local Wilkinson’s store here in Torquay and all the store staff were given

the documents I had written ECT to read. Within days of this there was an incident. We have heard

from the Store manager to say a Lady became quite confused and agitated as she was shopping and

because the store staff had read and understood the info given them by the TDAA (Torbay Dementia

Action Alliance) they recognised the signs of Dementia, waited patiently and calmed her down,

eventually persuading her to give them a phone number out of her diary so they could contact a

member of her immediate family to take her home safely, and this is exactly what happened!!!!

She arrived home safe and sound!! Have you ANY IDEA how good it is to write those words!!!!

Let’s make no mistake my friends how important this is and what a benchmark we have made!!! This

is what we dreamt of when we first formed the Torbay Alliance, this is what we all wanted to

happed (as sad at it is that it does Happen), and this has happened.

THIS PROVES WHAT WE DO WORK`S!!!!

THIS PROVES THAT WE ARE MAKING THAT DIFFERENCE!!

AND THIS PROVES WE ARE ON THE RIGHT PATH!!

This also proves that sometimes, just sometimes, that we don’t have to make everything in this

world “PC” 

All we want to do is to help people, make their lives better and improve their quality of life by

communication and understanding of this disease where it’s needed, right at the heart of things, not

in Tower blocks of offices and Boardrooms, but

RIGHT HERE AND RIGHT NOW!!!

I wouldn’t like to be the in the shoes of the person who turns round and says to all those Fantastic

warm kind hearted people of Torbay who have taken the Alliance to their hearts “Err sorry, you are

not a Dementia Friendly Community” because you have not registered with us, or something similar 

WOULD YOU???? LOL

This is without the best news I have shared for a long time and I am hoping you share it also,

All our Love, Norrms, Elaine and the Torbay Dementia Action Alliance
