The Dementia Community Roadshow is travelling all over the UK providing free information and support to anyone with questions about dementia. The Roadshow has been funded by Tesco and over the course of three years we aim to reach 100,000 people.
Do you have questions about dementia?
Whether you live with dementia and want to find out more about local services in your area or are worried about your memory and would like to learn more, we’re here to help.
On board we have:
- free publications.
- trained Alzheimer’s Society staff and volunteers with time to talk.
- local service information to provide assistance appropriate to you.
David Ash, Alzheimer’s Society’s area Manager for the West Midlands said” This Roadshow helps us to reach out to local communities as well as reach people who may not know where to turn to for help. Getting a diagnosis is the first step in unlocking the support and potentential treatments that are available. Receiving an early diagnosis enables people to get access to support when they need it and gives them the opportunity to plan for the future”
