Dementia Action Week
Dementia Action Week (15-21 May) is an annual awareness-raising campaign run by the Alzheimer’s Society. Birmingham Carers Hub is supporting this campaign by holding events to support friends, neighbours and family who support someone living with dementia. Opposite is our timetable of events or to take a closer look, click here.
Birmingham Carers Hub offers a range of support to those who look after someone living with dementia. We have three delivery partners (Age Concern Birmingham, Age UK Birmingham and Dementia Carers Count) who together form the Dementia Carers Hub. With the expertise of our health professionals, trained advisors and welcoming group leads, you will be guided and supported throughout your caring journey. Take a look at what we have to offer dementia Carers.
