Full description:
Dementia affects more than memory. Changes in attention, planning and everyday thinking can also affect daily life. We are inviting people living with dementia and carers to a friendly, interactive workshop at the University of Leicester. Together, we will explore everyday experiences and discuss how to make information about these changes clearer and more useful. Your ideas will help shape practical resources for people affected by dementia. No specialist knowledge is needed.

Expenses:
Reasonable travel and parking expenses can be reimbursed. Free parking is also available at the University of Leicester car park next to the workshop building and can be reserved in advance. Please contact us if you would like to arrange parking or discuss travel requirements.
