Grant Snapshot: People living with dementia often face stigma and social isolation that reduces quality of life and well-being. Our arts, music, and recreational programs create opportunities for connection and community. Funding allows us to sustain dementia-specific programming, including support for individuals with young-onset dementia (YOD), a rare condition for which no community-based programs previously existed in Victoria.
