In the charity's own words
We set up and run YOPEY Dementia Befriender partnerships. These are befriending partnerships between ourselves, schools or colleges and care homes. We inspire, train and support young people, known as YOPEY Befrienders, to befriend elderly residents, especially those living with dementia. We get positive publicity for our YOPEY Befrienders, ourselves and the other partners.
