Dementia Awareness Sessions

When we realised how large and varied our archive is, we thought we should use it for community support.  To progress this we spoke to Alzheimer Scotland with a view to us setting up a monthly coffee afternoon for Scouts/former Scouts, especially those who have dementia and their carers (equally the carer could have been a Scout), using the archive as a talking point to bring back memories.

Before starting our Memories afternoons, to support us, Alzheimer Scotland offered to provide Awareness Sessions, so given how dementia affects so many families, we’re inviting all adults associated with 2nd Renfrew, Explorer Scouts, Senior Scouts, and members of Trinity Church to attend a session.

We have arranged the sessions as noted on the form above, each one accommodating 20 – 25 attendees.  If you’d like to attend, please complete the form for your chosen session – after submitting it you will receive a confirmation on this page.  If your session is over-prescribed, we’ll let you know.  All will be held in Trinity Church halls and will take a maximum of 90 minutes (which includes questions and answers; tea and coffee will also be available).

Please note your form will be submitted to 2nd Renfrew Scout Group, not to Alzheimer Scotland.  We look forward to seeing you and if you have any questions, please call Susan on 07880 484267.
