The Museum is proud to host a Dementia Friendship Group. This group meets at the museum at 2pm on the third Monday of every month. It is open to anyone living with dementia, their carers, family and friends. No charge is made for these events.

We would appreciate, if possible, for you to contact us if you are planning on attending a session.

Cheshire Police appreciate that caring for people with dementia is challenging – and that planning ahead and keeping safe is really important. There is often a risk that people living with dementia can at some point start to ‘walk about’. While this may only be into the garden or street and returning a short time later, some people can get lost and go missing. This can lead to feelings of confusion, fear and vulnerability for individuals and their families, particularly at night time or during times of extreme weather.

The HERBERT PROTOCOL is a form that carers, family or friends of a vulnerable person can fill in.

It contains a list of information to help the police if the person goes missing, including:

• medication required
• mobile numbers
• places previously located
• a recent photograph

Keeping a completed form saves the worry of trying to recall the information during the stressful time of someone going missing. It also saves time for the police, allowing the search to start sooner.

The Herbert Protocol is here to help provide you with reassurance, and help you keep friends and relatives safe. It is a national initiative adopted by Cheshire Constabulary, as well as other police forces around the UK.
