DEMENTIA AWARENESS FOR FRIENDS AND FAMILY

Raising Dementia Awareness Among Friends and Family

St Columba’s Church, Crosspool
Saturday 20th April 2024
10am-12noon
All Welcome

Speaker: Kathryn Rawling,
Dementia and Wellbeing Manager at Sheffcare.

It’s estimated that by 2040 1.6 million people will live with dementia in the UK and approximately two-thirds of those people will live at home supported by a family member or a friend.

We have arranged a relaxed accessible session that will help us all understand memory loss and dementia better, from the perspective of both the person living with dementia and the carer.

Our speaker is Kathryn Rawling, Dementia and Wellbeing Manager at Sheffcare and she is passionate about helping friends and families gain meaningful knowledge and understanding about memory loss and dementia. She believes in looking for innovative ways to help anyone living with dementia to have as fulfilling a life as possible.

If you have a friend, a neighbour, or someone in your family living with memory loss or dementia and you’d like to know more, please come and join us. Kathryn is a warm and interesting speaker and there will be plenty of opportunities to ask questions.

Lydgate Park outdoor gym

A new outdoor gym installed by the council and is now up and running in Lydgate Park.

Outdoor gyms are a new approach to health and fitness. They include much of the same equipment found in an indoor gym, but are specifically designed for outdoor use.

You don’t need any gym experience or special level of fitness to have a go. They are mainly for adults, but children may be able to use some of the apparatus with supervision.

Best of all, there’s no membership to pay!

Lydgate Park can be found at the top of Lydgate Lane, opposite Lydgate Infants School.
