Dementia Action Week

Dementia Action Week 2023
The Coliseum, Victoria Place, Whitby YO21 1EZ
Dementia Action Week is an annual awareness raising campaign to encourage people who are concerned that they or someone they know may be experiencing dementia symptoms to seek further help.
Each year, the campaign works with individuals and organisations across the UK to encourage people to ‘act on dementia’.
Between Mon 15 and Fri 19 May 2023 the Whitby Area Development Trust, based at the Coliseum, will be hosting a series of events in their theatre. All events are free and open to everyone. Drinks and light refreshments are available.
To find out more about local support for dementia, including diagnosis, call at the drop - in session at the Coliseum on Weds 17 May. Support workers from Dementia Forward, Alzheimer’s Society, Advocacy Alliance, Carers Plus and the local Dementia Care Co-ordinator from Whitby Group Practice will be available between 2pm and 4 pm to meet people living with dementia, their carers and anyone wanting further information.
