Dementia Action Week Expo Event
The Swindon Dementia Action Alliance are proud to be hosting an information Expo style event on Thursday 16 May which is kindly being hosted by Zurich in Swindon.
We are offering two sessions to allow those that may work during the day the opportunity to come along to the twilight session.
We’d love to welcome anyone that has an interest in attending as it is so important for all generations of families that have a loved one living with Dementia to have the opportunity to find out more and a safe place to ask any questions from any of the dozen or so stands that will be present on the day.
There will also be Dementia Awareness training sessions available to attend at 3.30pm and 5.30pm.
