ARE YOU CARING FOR SOMEONE WITH DEMENTIA?

We run a morning social for people with dementia and their carers.

It is fortnightly on the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month in Barton Village Hall (easy parking!). The aim is to provide a little extra help for people and their carers who are living with dementia. There is no charge but donations are welcomed.
