The Dementia Festival on Friday 31 October - and it was a festival - involved 25 and more organisations offering help and advice for people living with dementia, at a venue provided by Churcher's College; there was talk from a Consultant Psychiatrist, a pilates taster class and attending organisations included the Alzheimers' Society, care homes, the NHS, the police ,the Taro and the Dementia Choir.
PACT - Petersfield Area Churches Together - announced that their Christmas Day Lunch is open to couples where they are living with dementia; more about this at Winton House on the High Street.
Organised by Dementia Friendly Petersfield, Audrey Morton and Julie Butler, there was a real buzz around it with an emphasis on living well with dementia..
It was informative and very moving with the dementia choir bringing the house down.
Local MP Damian Hinds opened the event, thanking all involved.
