Friendly Communities
The Time to Shine Friendly Communities project brings together the Age Friendly Leeds and Dementia Friendly Leeds initiatives, to help make Leeds the best city to grow old in.
We have adapted the project to the current extraordinary circumstances. We want to support our communities to become and to remain age and dementia friendly as we go through the coronavirus crisis. We are helping to keep older people connected, share good practice, work in partnership and provide a platform for older people’s voices on Covid-19.
