The evaluation was conducted over a ten-month period from February to November 2014 using a range of approaches including individual interviews, group discussions and an online questionnaire. In addition a range of meetings was observed, and the evaluation team hosted a ‘sounding board’ workshop in November which tested initial findings.

The report identifies:

  • the distinctive features of the Bradford Dementia Friendly Communities Programme, which reflect the diverse geography and culture of the district
  • how people with dementia can influence what a dementia friendly Bradford should be like
  • the main challenges which will need to be addressed to ensure that progress continues, and
  • the learning for others who are trying to build dementia friendly communities.
