Dementia Action Week 2026💚
Tuesday - Free Dementia Friend's Session
To kick off Dementia Action Week we held a free Dementia Friends Session for people in the community. This was a face to face session at our Horsforth Office for people to learn more about dementia and to become a Dementia Friend. Our Community Engagement Lead Tess ran this and everyone had a wonderful time!🧠
Tuesday - Dementia Awareness & Support Event
Our Community Engagement Lead, Heather, was at Cross Gates Shopping Centre with the LCP for an event to support people living with dementia and their loved ones. There were so many amazing organisations there and there was even a brass band!
Wednesday - Friendship & Entertainment Social
We had our monthly Friendship & Entertainment Social on Wednesday. So many people came along to spend the afternoon with us! We even celebrated one lady's birthday which made it extra special💚
Thursday - Dementia Information Stand
Heather was at Wetherby Market on Thursday with Emma and Tam from Wetherby in Support of the Elderly, The Rainbow Care Group- HQ and Carolyn, Memory Support Worker. They were there to give out information on dementia and what services are available for people in our community💚
Friday - Wetherby Community Cafe & Advice Hub
We were at The Community Café & Advice Hub on Friday to give out more information on our services available in the community. There was plenty of useful support there from other amazing local organisations, councillors and Sir Alec Shelbrooke MP
