In September 2021, the first conference run by people living with dementia, for people living with dementia took place in Dundee.  It was a life changing experience for all those who attended.  The 100/6000 Conference discussed and debated ideas for the future direction for people living with dementia.

From this two day hybrid conference, we collated and analysed all that was talked about, written down and analysed to create the '100/6000 Deepness Conference Position Paper'.  This position paper presented our views on the new National Care Service for Scotland, from the viewpoint of all those who were at the conference. 

The Position Paper has already been send to the Scottish Government and a meeting with a Scottish Minister has taken place discussing our position.

The Life Changes Trust part funded the conference as a peer-to-peer grant to support people living with dementia to access the conference.
