Dementia Action Week Event at St Mary’s.
On Friday 24th May the Parish hosted a Free Market Place of Information and Services for people living with dementia and their carers. It was a great success, with some twenty organisations providing vital information for people living with dementia and their carers/ families.
We welcomed visitors not only from the local community, but also from across the city.
A huge thank you to all the volunteers who so kindly gave of their time and resources over months of planning to make this event happen.
A special thank you goes to Ruth Eley - Chairperson of Liverpool Dementia Action Alliance, who gave a very informative talk.
