Find a welcoming place where you can sit for a few minutes when you need to.
About this project
Inspired by similar schemes in Nottingham and Manchester, the idea is simple but effective – shops, libraries, pharmacies and other places put a ‘Come in and Rest’ sticker in their window to let people know they’re offering a welcoming place where older people can sit for a few minutes when they need to.
- Businesses and organisations can sign up to the ‘Come in and Rest’ scheme on its own
- There’s also the option for the scheme to form part of your organisation’s action plan when you sign up to become more Age and Dementia Friendly.
