Want to know more about being a ‘Dementia Friend’ – We have an event at Halton Lea Library which, where people can find out how to become one, and what is entails.

It’s FREE but you need to sign up at halton.gov.uk/libraries – Tuesday 14 November from 10am to 11.30am.

If you are not on the internet. Pop into any library and staff will help you.

A Dementia Friend learns a little bit more about what it’s like to live with dementia and then turns that understanding into action – from telling friends about Dementia Friends to visiting someone you know living with dementia, every action counts.

Halton Borough Council’s Dementia Friends Information Sessions are run by skilled Dementia Friends Champions, who are trained and supported by Alzheimer’s Society.

Each information session lasts around one hour. You will learn more about dementia, become a Dementia Friend and learn how you can help to create dementia friendly communities.
