A warm and informative evening for everyone touched by dementia

Living with or caring for someone with dementia can feel overwhelming and isolating. This workshop is designed to change that — bringing families, friends and the wider community together to understand dementia better and feel more confident in supporting their loved ones.

Led by Chris Elsley, Dementia Trainer for Caring Homes, the evening takes a partnership approach: sharing knowledge, answering questions honestly, and building a community of support around every resident and family we care for.

“Sometimes we don’t have all the answers, but we can learn together by sharing ideas and information.”
