Our community in action

Past events

We have already brought people and organisations together through events and information sessions such as these.

12 September

Stevenage Dementia Day

This event was rescheduled because of the very wet and thundery weather earlier in the summer. The festival is a free community event for people living with dementia, their families, carers, and the wider community. The afternoon will include music, entertainment, information stalls, and opportunities to connect with local organisations and support services.

21 September

World Alzheimer’s Day

A day to raise awareness of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia and to support people affected by dementia around the world.
