Steve Shelley-King, Consultant Dementia Nurse, said: “Each of these events are a great opportunity to talk to people about reducing the risk of dementia, whether that’s through physical exercise, mental activity or maintaining social connections and interaction.
“We’ll have a wide range of resources on each day and these are always interesting and valuable events that allow service providers to connect with people who can benefit from them. We look forward to meeting everyone who wants to drop by.
“As always, the week is supported by fantastic partners including Mindsong, Active Gloucestershire, Gloucestershire Carers Hub, Gloucestershire Age UK and Gloucestershire Dementia Action Alliance.”
