Alzheimer’s Society Sefton have teamed up with Southport Macmillan Centre to organise Sefton’s first ever cancer with dementia event.
It will take place on Monday 29 September at the Bold Hotel, Lord Street, Southport from 10,30am to 2pm. It will take the form of speakers talking about local services from both charities, as well as exercise, wellbeing, welfare benefits and other support. In addition there will be representatives from Southport Memory Clinic, Sefton Carers’ Centre, Compassion Acts and Southport Hospital’s Admiral Nurse Team.
Barry Lyon, Service Manager for Alzheimer’s Society in Sefton said, “We don’t want this event to be a ‘marketplace’, so instead, we have organised some interesting speakers and there will be plenty of opportunity for people to ask questions and find the support and information they need.”
Justine Shenton, Manager of the Macmillan Cancer Support Centre added “Having cancer or dementia on their own can be challenging enough but experiencing both conditions is much harder. We want families to know that there is help and support out there and we hope this event will inspire people to find our more.”
