Background

Dementia Actif Gwynedd was established initially under the name of 'Dementia Go' with funding from the Integrated Care Fund in 2014 when the project was within the National Exercise Referral Scheme (NERS). It developed into a specific Team within the Leisure Department before transferring to the Adults, Health and Well-being Department during June 2018 and became a part of the Well-being Team. The Team was originally funded under the ICF, but has now been funded by the Council for two years. Gwynedd Council's Cabinet asked for a formal evaluation of the Team in order to consider long-term funding.
