Focussing on the topic of 'What is dementia?', this will be the first in a series of Carer Information Evenings running across the local area in the coming weeks and months.

The sessions will enable family and carers of people living with dementia to develop skills and knowledge to assist them in their caring role.

The second meeting will be held in Portglenone Community Centre on March 30 at 7.30pm and details of venues for the next month will follow in due course.

There is no need to register for the evenings - just come along on the night.

Anyone who requires information or support should contact Wilma McIlroy, Dementia Support Worker, Antrim/Ballymena area on 028 9446 1717.
