Havant Borough Council invites residents to attend its fourth annual Dementia Information Day event - helping those living with dementia and their carers, families, and friends seek support and advice from local charities and organisations.
This free drop-in event - organised by Havant Borough Council, Dementia Friendly Havant Borough CIO, and Dementia Friendly Hampshire - will take place on Friday 10 July from 10am to 1pm at the Public Service Plaza (Civic Centre Road, Havant PO9 2AX).
The event will consist of a marketplace of stalls and information stands, which will provide dementia-related support. There will be various talks, including an interactive session on Wills and Powers of Attorney, a question-and-answer session, and talks from residents living with Dementia and their carers.
A range of sessions will be taking place, including:
- Falls Prevent taster session with Horizon Leisure Centre
- Love to Move session with Home Instead
- Functional Fitness MOTs with Get Up and Go
- Circle Dancing with Recapture Life.
The event, sponsored by Right at Home and Home Instead, will also have live entertainment for all to enjoy, provided by Singing for the Mind Dementia Choir.
Councillor Antonia Harrison, Cabinet Lead for Communities, Active Wellbeing & Waterlooville, said: “Come along to this free drop-in event and meet local services ready to offer helpful advice and support for you and your loved ones.”
There is no need to book - simply turn up! There will be refreshments, and free parking for attendees and stall holders will be available in the Civic Offices East car park (next to the Police Station). If you wish to park in any of the public car parks, you will be required to pay and display or purchase a RingGo session.
