The more people that have a greater understanding of how it is to live with dementia, the more they can make Petersfield a dementia friendly place to be. We are so thrilled that 17 people from Age Concern Petersfield and others from the town came along to our dementia information sessions earlier this month. Thanks go to Ruth (one of our trustees and a dementia champion) that ran these for us.
