Information days
ReMind UK run regular information days for carers of someone with dementia, to introduce a range of local support services and advice. This one-day event held at the ReMind UK centre in Bath is held four times a year (usually on a Friday).
Several expert speakers are invited to present on important topics and carers are given the chance to ask questions. The topics often include legal tips for carers, local services available and learning more about dementia as a disease.
The information day offers an opportunity to connect with people in a similar situation. These courses are free and run regularly through the year.
Express your interest for information days.
