***Dementia Friends Sessions***
If your organisation would like to arrange a Dementia Friends session to learn a little more about dementia, this can be delivered by an Alzheimer's Society Ambassador.
Alison Carter is an Ambassador along with several others in our LDAAs. Awareness Raising sessions can be provided via Zoom or face-to-face, as preferred.
Just get in touch with us and we would be happy to help you.
It is also possible to undertake the online sessions via the Dementia Friends Website.
​
All sessions are volunteer-led and free of charge.
