The September meeting of our carers peer support group is this Friday, 16th September, at Wellington House, Sandy Lane, Stretford, from 10:00 - 12:30.
Anyone who cares for someone with memory loss / diagnosed dementia, or is worried about someone with memory loss is welcome to come along, say hello and find out what we're all about. There is no charge and we are as friendly a group as you'll ever see.
We also have a special guest joining us - Mr Stephen Chew-Graham from Brains for Dementia Research is coming to talk with those who wish to find out about the exciting and necessary work that is going on to improve understanding of the diseases that cause dementia and potential prevention or treatment.
Please do not hesitate to contact Lise at Age UK Trafford 0161 746 3944 if you wish to speak before coming to peer support. We understand it is not always easy, but as a carer recently commented, if you're unsure, take a deep breath and come. What is the worst that can happen?
A slightly dodgy cup of tea and biscuits of dubious origin, that's what. Well we're not gourmet caterers, you know.
Hope to see you there.
