Thank you to Mike Crozier and Margaret Carney from Sunderland City Council for coming down to work with us in partnership to help support Dementia Action Week yesterday at The Carers Centre.

We are delivering the very popular 'Understand Dementia' course for carers, which begins next Tuesday evening. There are limited places left, so please contact us ASAP to reserve your place #DAW2019

As we have had very few responses about the May half-term activities for Young Carers we believe there may be a problem with our text-messaging service. If you have not responded, please get in touch to reserve your place ASAP

Today's Dementia Action Week Event is in conjunction with Sunderland, UK from 1.30 - 3.45. It would be great to see you here to find out what support is available in Sunderland #DAW2019
