Dementia Awareness Session

Dementia Friends

What is a Dementia Friend?

A Dementia Friend learns a little bit more about what it's like to live with dementia and then turns that understanding into action - anyone of any age can be a Dementia Friend. Dementia Friends is about learning more about dementia and the small ways you can help. From telling friends about Dementia Friends to visiting someone you know living with dementia, every action counts.

Dementia Friends session gives people a better understanding of dementia and the small things you can do to make a difference.

Please join us for this FREE session Thursday 15th March at 10am
