People across the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham have another opportunity to find out more about dementia, thanks to a series of free workshops over the Christmas season.
The local award-winning provider of personal care in the home, Bluebird Care Hammersmith and Fulham, is hosting Dementia Awareness Workshops across the borough during the month of December.
They are making themselves available to visit as many businesses, organisations and charities as possible this Christmas time!
Managing Director of Bluebird Hammersmith and Fulham, Soheila Amin, said:
“One in four people will be affected by dementia in their lifetimes, which is why it’s important to work with individuals and their families to try and make life much easier for those who have it.
A recent report made recommendations to the government about the need to continue to raise awareness of dementia, and the work that can be done to make our communities more dementia friendly.
With the specialist services we provide at Bluebird Care we are determined to do just that with these Dementia Awareness Sessions over the festive season.”
Set up by the Alzheimer’s Society, Dementia Awareness Sessions have been running across the country for a number of years and focus on improving inclusion and quality of life for people living with dementia. By holding information workshops in towns, villages and cities across the UK, the society’s ambition is to work with people affected by dementia and key partners to develop dementia-friendly communities.
By doing so people will be aware of and understand more about dementia, people with dementia and their careers will be encouraged to seek help and support; and people with dementia will feel included in their community.
Soheila added: “The Bluebird Care team want to meet as many people as possible and make them aware of dementia, its affects and how we as a community can support those who are suffering from it.”
Are you part of a community group, work with a housing provider, school or social club, or an individual who just wants to find out more about dementia? Would you like Bluebird Care to host a Dementia Awareness Workshop for you? If so, get in touch.

Here at the Virgin Money Foundation, we’re on a mission to support community regeneration by backing people who can make big changes happen locally.
We love helping local communities thrive so every two months, we’re giving three local charities the chance to win £1,000 – with awards of £500 and £250 for the two runners-up.
The awards will go to the charities with the most votes from Virgin Money customers and Lounge members.
We’d love to support projects:
Funds can be used to buy materials and equipment, make improvements to a community building or sports facility, clean up an area of wasteland or support an event. The money could also pay for staff to run an activity.
If you know of any local charities you think fit the bill and deserve to feature on our voting unit, they should apply to the Virgin Money foundation online.
With well over 100 charity professionals just like you signed up, it’s never been easier to network as well as hear from sector experts themselves.
There are still tickets available to attend on the day…
