Barry Town Council is proud to be a Dementia Friendly organisation. Staff and Councillors have received Dementia Friends training and our Engagement and Events Team Manager works with the group; Dementia Friends Barry to discuss and action ways in which the group can improve the lives of those living with Dementia.
