Alzheimer’s Society’s Dementia Friends programme is the biggest ever initiative to change people’s perceptions of dementia. It aims to transform the way the nation thinks, acts and talks about the condition.

Come and find out what it's like to live with dementia and turn that understanding into being able to help those affected by the illness on 8th March 2016 at Aldin Grange Lakes Cafe (DH7 7AR). Trained Dementia Champion (and Esh resident!) Gemma Roberts will be running an interactive session open to all residents from 7.30-8.15pm; tea and coffee are kindly being provided by Broompark WI.
