CAS and the Dementia Friends

As part of the students' ongoing CAS project - Dementia Friends of Rhos on Sea (in conjunction with Rhos on Sea working towards their Dementia Friendly Village) students at Coleg Llandrillo, Rhos Campus have begun raising awareness.

In June 2017 (June 15) they baked cupcakes and hosted a Cupcake sale. Lizzie and Morgan brought in the cupcakes they had made and decorated to sell to staff as part of the fundraising event as well as the IB students sharing the fundraising page online through their social media sites.

This term, students are learning how to crochet in the hopes of creating crochet Dementia Octopus toys and sensory blankets for the Winter Fayre stall on December 2nd. This stall will be manned by members of the steering group for Dementia Friendly Rhos on Sea with students of Coleg Llandrillo and hopes to raise awareness, advertise future training events to become Dementia Friends and encourage the shops and businesses of Rhos to pledge to become Dementia Friendly.
