Council's 'Forget Me Not' program provided Unley Primary School students from Grade 4 and 5 with dementia education and the opportunity to meet with people living with the condition.

Funding from the State Government's Office for the Aging enabled Council to commission the University of South Australia to undertake the study with the goal of finding ways to create a dementia-friendly community in the City.

A partnership with ECH enabled the children to go on an excursion to undertake activities with clients as part of their specialist dementia program.

The program was well received, with results reviewed by the University of South Australia, and was transitioned to a community based project in 2019 with dedicated intergenerational volunteers.
