Northern Ireland’s dementia-friendly barber is a cut above

Lenny White’s dementia-friendly barber business has been a big hit in Northern Ireland, and he’s now setting his sights on the rest of the UK.

For people living with dementia, remaining independent and participating in local communities can be both daunting and frustrating.

Our statistics show that less than half (47%) of people living with dementia feel a part of their community, while over a quarter (28%) say they have given up even getting out of the house. So whether it’s a bank, library or local shop, dementia-friendly businesses clearly have a huge role to play.
