Over 1 million people have become Dementia Friends. Why not join them at the Dementia Friends Information Session at the Norfolk Royale Hotel in Bournemouth on 21st September 3.15-3.45pm.

You can help tackle the stigma and lack of understanding around dementia by becoming a Dementia Friend.

Aimee Packwood told us more, "We are attending all the political party conferences this year, so I am going to be in Bournemouth for the Liberal Democrat party conference; come along to find out about some of the key things we think everyone should know about Dementia, and how you can make a difference for people living with Dementia in your everyday life. The session is free, and we won’t be asking for any ongoing commitment, and it’s not about fundraising, just a chance to find out more."
