Communities
PALM is working with Alzheimer's
Scotland and the City of Edinburgh

Communities Project. This involves
working with the whole community
(shops, businesses, churches, social
groups and local services) to help
people with dementia to remain a part
of their community and not become
apart from it. If you would like to get
involved or would like more
