We aim to raise awareness of the issues and needs around dementia and to promote increased access to support and advice services for individuals with dementia and their families.

Acumen is passionate about making a difference, improving lives and transforming the communities in which it works across East Durham. Established in 2003, we consistently deliver innovative solutions for employers and local people through high quality employment, training and recruitment services. To date we have supported over 3000 people move into employment and provided recruitment support to over 500 companies. We strive to continuously identify, develop and design innovative learning solutions to help people realise their full potential. We identify trends and local needs for example, digital inclusion, health and well-being, among others and seek to provide appropriate opportunities to meet these needs. Our delivery of Welfare to Work Programmes demonstrates our ability to work with the hardest to help and those further away from the labour market.
