Lagan Search and Rescue and Officers of the Belfast Harbour Police took part recently in Dementia Action week with Awareness training delivered by Belfast City Council on behalf of the Alzheimer's Society Northern Ireland to equip both volunteers and Officers with the skills to engage and communicate more effectively with people with Dementia and provide support for those who are most vulnerable.
Lagan SAR is a provider of Independent Lifeboat and Water Search, Rescue and Recovery Service, based in Belfast Harbour Marina. It operates on the River Lagan, which flows through Belfast into Belfast Lough.
The volunteers were pleased to take part. " Thanks to Belfast City Council for providing this valuable training!".
