FREE Dementia Awareness Training provided by The Alzheimer's Society

There are currently 800,000 people with dementia in the UK. The Alzheimer's Society staff and volunteers provide both local information and over 2,000 services across England, Wales and Northern Ireland to people affected by dementia in their communities. 

Local services include day care and home care for people with dementia, as well as support and befriending services to help partners and families cope with the demands of caring. From Alzheimer's Café's and innovative 'singing for the brain' sessions to memory-book projects and group outings, their services provide both practical support and an essential point of human contact.

On Tuesday 30th April 30th from 2:00-4:00pm, The Alzheimer’s Society will be delivering an awareness session on the different types of dementia, not just Alzheimer’s. 

A key element of this session is working to ensure that all those who come into contact with people with dementia in the community have an understanding of the condition. People in all settings come into daily contact with people with dementia; it could be the person serving in a shop, a paramedic, police officer, bus driver or a call centre operative.

The session will also give you some top tips for communicating with people with dementia and will look at the difficulties people living with dementia face.

Date: Tuesday 30th April
Venue: Langley Centre, Gainsborough Square, Lockleaze, BS7 9XA
Time: 2:00-4:00pm
Cost: FREE
