PEOPLE in North Wiltshire are being invited to learn more about dementia at an educational event next week.

Dementia Friends will be holding the awareness event in Purton Village Hall next week.

Two sessions will take place on November 22, from 4pm and 7pm.

A spokesperson for the event said: β€œIt is surprising how much you might discover about the challenges those with dementia have.

"Come along and learn a little bit about what it is like to live with dementia and what we can all do to help people with this illness live well in our community.”

Everyone is welcome to the informal sessions.
