DEMENTIA INFORMATION/AWARENESS SESSION:
Thank you to all who helped with the organisation and delivery of the Dementia Information/Awareness session that took place on the 26th September. The presentations from Jill Pendleton, Serena Jones and Mary Monkhouse were highly professional and very enlightening.
The feedback has been extremely positive with many of our guests saying they felt more confident in their understanding of dementia and where they can find help should they need it.
A couple of photos of the event are below, more information (ie presentations will be added shortly in the near future)
