People living with dementia, their carers, families, and friends are invited to come along to the East Hampshire Dementia Festival this October – to help them find specialist support and top advice from local charities and organisations.
This year’s free drop-in event, organised and run by Dementia Friendly Petersfield will take place on Friday 30 October at Churcher’s College between 10am and 1pm.
Now in its fifth year, the annual dementia festival supported by EHDC, will play host to services, support groups, charities and organisations that can help people living with the condition.
The festival is a marketplace of more than 20 stalls and information stands, providing dementia-related support – and an opportunity to meet and chat with people who share similar experiences.
Alongside the wide range of information stands, there will be various talks, including presentations on Lasting Power of Attorney, Living with Dementia – A Carer’s Perspective and Funding for Long-term Care, with question-and-answer sessions, as well as a chance to hear the Dementia Choir sing.
Organisations taking part in the event include: Alzheimer’s Society, Princess Royal Trust for Carers, Dementia Friendly Alton, Home Instead East Hampshire, Petersfield Dementia Choir and others.
Local MP, Damian Hinds will be opening the festival at 10am.
This is a free event with free parking. Everyone welcome
