Dementia Friends Information Sessions

Thursdays in September, 1 - 2pm

Help celebrate World Alzheimers Month and join one of the Alzheimers Society Dementia Friends sessions taking place online - on Thursdays in September. 

The sessions are designed to give an introduction to dementia and how it affects people.  At the end of the session Islington Carers Hub will be providing a short presentation about our service and how we support carers. By attending the session, this will give you the knowledge to be a Dementia Friend.

A Dementia Friend is somebody that learns about dementia so they can help their community. Too many people affected by dementia feel that society fails to understand the condition they live with. Dementia Friends help by raising awareness and understanding, so that people living with dementia can continue to live in the way they want.

Dementia Friends help people living with dementia by taking actions - both big and small. These actions don’t have to be time-consuming. From visiting someone you know with dementia to being more patient in a shop queue, every action counts!

Who can be a Dementia Friend? Everyone! Dementia Friends is open to anyone who wants to help people with dementia in their community.
