A FREE information evening to help create a dementia-inclusive community will be held in Clonakilty on Tuesday March 10th at 6pm, writes Sally Collins.

The event at the Fernhill House Hotel will offer practical guidance on small, everyday actions that can make a meaningful difference to people with dementia and their families.

The West Cork Dementia Inclusive Project, in partnership with the HSE’s Dementia: Understand Together campaign is inviting residents, businesses, community groups and clubs across Clonakilty to join in.

Dementia experts and representatives from community organisations will share information, advice and practical ways the community can work together to create a more inclusive environment for those living with dementia.

Sinead Crowley, the Dementia Inclusive Project Worker for West Cork, said the event ‘brings the Clonakilty community together to learn more about dementia and the small, meaningful steps we can all take to support our friends, neighbours, and customers who may be living with the condition.’
