MOTION TO CONGRATULATE “DEMENTIA FRIENDLY” KINGDOM SHOPPING CENTRE

Published date : 19 Jul 2017

Jenny Gilruth MSP has lodged a motion (S5M-06795: “Dementia Friendly Glenrothes Initiative”) asking the Scottish Parliament to congratulate the Kingdom Shopping Centre on being named the first dementia-friendly business in Glenrothes by the Dementia Friendly Glenrothes initiative.

The motion text reads:

“That the Parliament congratulates the Kingdom Shopping Centre on being named the first dementia-friendly business in Glenrothes by the Dementia Friendly Glenrothes initiative; understands that most of the staff at the shopping centre have become Dementia Friends and that it has improved ramp signage; acknowledges that Dementia Friendly Glenrothes is a partnership between Fife Health and Social Care Partnership and Alzheimer Scotland, which aims to help people with dementia to live well and stay active in their communities by enabling their continued use of local businesses and services, and hopes that the recognition of the Kingdom Shopping Centre in achieving dementia-friendly status will encourage more businesses in Glenrothes to become more dementia friendly.”
