Dementia Information Afternoon

On Sunday 2nd February I organised an information afternoon on behalf of Dyserth Community council with Rhuddlan Dementia Group.

This was to raise awareness of the group and also help residents with information as to what support is out there. Mike Kermode gave a talk in the group and what events they have.

We also had Rebecca and Abby from the Alzheimer’s society who told us all about the Memory support pathway; Toby from the dementia support service who works closely with Alzheimer’s society; Becky who is the Dementia aware Denbighshire officer; Sgt Bethan Jones gave us information on the Herbert Protocol; and lastly, the inspiring Theresa Davies (aka Dory) who told what it’s like having and living with Dementia.

We had a great turnout and we hope people found it helpful and informative. Thank you to all the speakers and residents who attended.

Rhuddlan dementia group has opened its doors to residents of the village… they do some great events and can signpost us to the relevant people that can help.

Also a thank you to Helen Vaughan for taking charge of the refreshments!
