Dementia Friendly Orkney are a group of volunteers who have come together as a way of promoting a friendly outlook to Dementia in Orkney.

To raise the profile of Dementia Awareness Week the Dementia Friendly Orkney group took part in a walk for Dementia today through the streets of Kirkwall. The walk was led by The Rendall Pipe Band and was extremely very well attended with many people sporting the colour purple.

You can watch a short video of today’s procession here.

Dementia Awareness Week Scotland 2018 has been running from 4th June until today 10th June.
