Reminiscence Learning is hosting a free Dementia Town Talk in Wellington tomorrow (Friday).
The event at the Football Club – off North Street car park – from 12.30pm to 2.30pm is being organised by Claire Care (above right), the charity’s Community Engagement Coordinator.
She says it aims to bring together members of the community to learn more about dementia, ask questions and gain practical knowledge in a friendly and supportive environment.
Here is the full preview …
Whether you have a loved one living with dementia, work with older people, volunteer, or simply want to understand more, everyone is welcome.
Build your understanding of dementia
Learn about the different types of dementia, common symptoms and how the condition can affect people’s daily lives. The session provides a great introduction to dementia awareness.
Gain practical tips
Discover simple, effective ways to communicate, offer support and make a positive difference to someone living with dementia, whether at home, at work or in your community.
Ask questions in a supportive environment
Have something you’ve always wanted to know about dementia? This is an opportunity to ask questions, hear from experienced professionals and learn from others.
Help create a dementia-friendly community
The more people understand dementia, the more inclusive and supportive our communities become. Your attendance helps build awareness and reduces the stigma surrounding dementia.
Connect with others
Meet local people who share an interest in improving the lives of those affected by dementia. Whether you’re a family carer, volunteer, professional or community member, you’ll leave feeling more informed and connected.
Everyone is welcome. No previous knowledge is needed – just an interest in learning more about dementia and supporting those affected by it.
Come along, learn something new, and help us create a more dementia-aware and compassionate community.
Email community@reminiscencelearning.co.uk to book your place – it’s free and there will be refreshments available.
