 This year’s Dementia Awareness week is focused on ‘Uniting’ around dementia.
Look out for a number of events and displays around the city hosted by various groups who support carers and people living with dementia in Coventry.
If you would like to get something booked in your diary…..
Coventry Libraries and Alzheimer’s Society are holding a number of ‘Making Memories – Creative Collaging’ sessions, where carers and people living with dementia can use some memory evoking materials to create memory collages.
