Dementia Awareness Week

DEMENTIA AWARENESS WEEK

 15 to 21 May 2016

 

 
Dementia Awareness Week takes place from the 15 to 21 May 2016 this week which is supported by the Alzheimer's Society, a UK charity that aims to provide support and research to those affected by dementia.  
 
Every year, there are hundreds of thousands of families who are touched by dementia and many people don't know where to turn.  The Alzheimer's Society want people to know that although dementia can be scary you don't  have to face it alone. For advice and support call the National Dementia Helpline on 0300 222 1122 or email helpline@alzheimers.org.uk.   

Come and take a look at the display in the LRC depicting information from the Alzheimer's Society website, as well as some resources available in the LRC to borrow.  Further information, publications and resources can be found and downloaded from the Alzheimer's Society website.
