The Roadshow will share simple, practical steps that we can all take to help reduce the risk of cognitive decline and support long-term brain health. Visitors will have the opportunity to speak with local organisations, access information and advice, and find out about the wide range of support available for people living with dementia, their families and carers.

The event is free to attend and open to all members of the community. Whether you want to learn more about protecting your brain health, are supporting someone affected by dementia, or simply want to connect with local services, everyone is welcome.
