A free community event aimed at raising awareness of dementia and the support available locally is coming to Ilkley next month.
Home Instead Ilkley and The Rainbow Care Group – Wharfe Valley and North Bradford are joining forces to host the Dementia Awareness Event at Clarke Foley Community Hub on Saturday 31st October. Running from 11am until 2pm, the event is aimed at people caring for or supporting someone with dementia, as well as anyone who would simply like to learn more about the condition. Visitors will be able to take part in a Dementia Friends session, hear from local professionals and experts and meet organisations providing support within the community. There will also be information and advice stalls, refreshments and food, with opportunities for visitors to ask questions and meet others with experience of dementia. The team said: “Whether you’re caring for a loved one, supporting someone with dementia, would like to learn more, or simply want to find out what support is available locally, you’re very welcome to join us.” The event was announced to coincide with World Alzheimer’s Day, which is held annually on 21st September to raise awareness and challenge stigma surrounding Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. The Dementia Awareness Event will take place at Clarke Foley Community Hub in Ilkley from 11am until 2pm on Saturday 31st October. Attendance is free and open to everyone, although people are being encouraged to reserve a place in advance.
