Greenwich Council is asking people living with dementia, their families and unpaid carers to write in about what local support works and what is missing, as it begins planning a Dementia Hub for the borough — the side of Blackheath that includes the Standard, Westcombe Park and Kidbrooke. Feedback goes to a dedicated council email address, with prompts on what has helped, what is missing and what a hub should offer. There is no deadline; the address stays open.
An open-ended email inbox is a low bar for consultation, but it is also the easiest route in for a carer with ten spare minutes. The harder question is where the hub will go, and when. Greenwich says further engagement follows in the coming months.
- Greenwich Council has launched an ongoing listening opportunity for people living with dementia and their carers, announced on 29 September 2026.
- The council has committed to establishing a Dementia Hub in the borough and wants to know what is working, where the gaps are and what a hub should offer.
- People living with dementia, family members and unpaid carers can share experiences by emailing [email protected].
- There is no deadline and the email address will remain open.
- Further engagement with carers, community organisations and health and care partners will take place in the coming weeks and months.
