A fresh appeal has been made for crafty residents to get creative and support an initiative as part of efforts to make Burntwood a dementia-friendly town.

Cllr Di Evans

Cllr Di Evans, chairman of Burntwood Town Council, is calling on locals to knit, crochet, embroider or paint forget-me-not flowers.

The completed items will form part of a display to launch a series of events helping to raise awareness of the challenges facing those living with dementia.

> “There is scarcely a single family in Burntwood which hasn’t been touched by the impacts of dementia and we want to raise awareness that small changes can make a huge difference.  
>  
> “As part of our awareness-raising, we want to display forget-me-nots across the town and I’m very grateful for the many flowers we have already received – but we need more if we are really going to make a splash.  
>  
> “If any individuals or community groups, businesses or schools would like to take part, please contact me or our staff at the town council and we would be delighted to help.  
>  
> “We have patterns we can share and would welcome any offers of help.”  
>  
> Cllr Di Evans, Burntwood Town Council

The dementia-friendly town initiative would also aim to make access to services more accessible and inclusive.
