Creative and Social Programme for Carers of People Living with Dementia

dlr Libraries are running an interactive and engaging programme this autumn specifically designed with carers in mind. This is an opportunity to take part in social and creative experiences, meeting other carers and making new social connections. It is also welcoming to people living with dementia that may like to attend with their loved ones.

There’s time for tea and coffee as part of each event and numbers attending will be limited to small groups. If you are currently caring or have recently cared for a loved one with dementia why not come along to try one of the events.
