Dementia affects everyone Dementia Awareness Week 2011 “REMEMBER the person” – is the message for this year’s National Dementia Week which runs from 3 to 9 July.

There are more than 4000 people in Kirklees living with dementia now and the number expected to rise considerably over the next few years Kirklees Council, in partnership with health services and the Alzheimer’s Society, is keen to raise awareness and support to people who use dementia services and their carers during the week of the national campaign.

Spotting the signs and symptoms of dementia early is vital to making sure that people can access the sup-

port and services they need. There is a great deal that can be done to help people live a good life with dementia and the earlier that a person is diagnosed and able to get support and help the better.

A number of events and activities are planned during the week including those organised by the Kirklees Alzheimer’s Society which include: Information points at the Batley Older Persons Centre (Monday), Cleckheaton Town Hall (Tuesday) Gateway to Care Huddersfield (Wednesday) Memory Clinic, Folly Hall, Huddersfield (Thursday). There will also be a Silent Auction at Moldgreen

United Reformed Church, Wakefield Road, Huddersfield on Wednesday at 7.30pm. Highfields Community Resource Centre are holding a garden party on 29 June with all proceeds going to the Alzheimer’s Society. This will include tea, coffee, cakes and table top sales. Everyone welcome, for more information call 01484 223745.

The week will be rounded off with an Afternoon Tea Dance with Essentially Dance on Friday afternoon in Huddersfield Town Centre. For further information call 01484 429 865 If you’re a carer why not take time out and do something for you which will help you in your caring role so

that you can overcome stressful, emotional times and deal better with difficult caring situations – for more information call Kirklees Council on 01484 226050.

If someone is worried about their memory or about someone they know they can call their doctor or contact Gateway to care on 01484 414933 where trained staff will put you in touch with people who can help and support you. There is a wealth of information about dementia and the services available in Kirklees online at www.kirklees.gov.uk/dementia.

There will also be circus skills, craft workshops - where people can create something to wear in the Parade, a bouncy castle and rides, street entertainers, live jazz music and a samba band who will be providing music for the Birthday Parade.

On Saturday 6th August, the Taste Trail returns to Huddersfield – giving food fans the chance to try a sample from the menus of some of the town’s best restaurants – for free!
