Dementia Awareness

Welcome to our interactive and informative sessions for unpaid carers!

Carers often feel the profound effect caring can have on their own lifestyle – spending long hours providing  care, juggling their own needs with those of the person they are caring for, and forfeiting their social time. As a result, carers of people with dementia are more likely to experience stress and depression. 

Jane told us: 'Dad lived by himself and would call me day or night, if he couldn't get hold of me he would immediately ring the police. I was permanently on edge, waiting for the phone to ring, waking up in the night listening for the phone. 

I was physically and emotionally exhausted – I stopped seeing my friends and going out. I was desperate for help, but kept putting off going to the doctor. If it had been as easy as logging onto one of your webinars at home it would have made a huge difference.' 

This may be your situation, so please join us with our expert from AgeUK for an upbeat invigorating session on Dementia Awareness, and discussion about problems and solutions.

Whether you are planning to join us online or in person for this session, you will receive all you need to know. 

Joining online is simple. All you need to do is book a place using the booking system below and we will email you all the information you will need.
