Living With Dementia?
People living with dementia and their carers can go along to Central Library to find out about the support available.
The Books on Prescription dementia collection is a set of books available across Nottingham Libraries, to provide help and information on the subject of dementia.
"Memory Packs" follow themes including holidays, work and home and are designed to help promote shared memories and conversation.
Angela Warren from the Alzheimer’s Society will be leading a session which will bring people together in a friendly and stimulating activity using familiar songs and music and allows people with dementia an opportunity to express themselves in a relaxed environment. This is a free event.
