The event is open to carers or family members of someone living with dementia.
It is also open to those who are concerned that a family member or friend is in the early stages of dementia.
The event is suitable for people with dementia to come along to as a dedicated calm space will be set aside.
On the night, which commences at 7.00pm and runs to 9.00pm, there will be an opportunity to have private one-to-one sessions to get a solicitor’s advice and also benefits advice.
