People with dementia to tell their stories
PEOPLE with dementia and their families will have the chance to pass on their life experiences over a cuppa and a piece of cake at weekly sessions throughout April.
They will also have the chance to practice a handicraft at the Tuesday morning get togethers at Jacobs Well in Trinity Lane.
Mary Passeri of ‘Arty Farty Stuff, a community interest organisation, will collect oral history and anecdotes from those attending the sessions.
The sessions are funded by The Joseph Rowntree Foundation and will run from 10am to noon every Tuesday from April 1 to April 29.
