Friday 18th January is the fourth Essex Dementia Day. There are currently over 20,000 people with dementia in Essex. The day aims to support people living with dementia and inform others who want to help. There are events being held across the county to offer real advice, support, information and fun! Events range from the ‘marketplace’ at County Hall to cream teas, tea dances, a choir and cooking advice. Download the events list.

Dementia Adventure

We are offering a series of free events for family carers. Our events are designed to help unpaid family carers. The events look at:

• Understanding dementia better.
• Overcoming communication barriers.
• Continuing to see the person and not the condition.
• The overwhelming benefits of getting outside or connecting with nature.

 Find dates and locations here.

We also offer supported holidays for people living with dementia and their families, plus we provide training and consultancy for organisations working with people with dementia.
