As many of you will be aware, in Autumn 2016 Dementia Matters in Powys established an Initiative group, working with individuals, community, third-sector and statutory organisations to explore the potential of establishing a Meeting Centre in Brecon aimed at supporting those with mild to moderate dementia and their families.

Considerable progress has been made, and as the first steps, from 9th March 2017 Dementia Matters in Powys will be running a weekly session at St John’s Family Centre open to those living with dementia or mild cognitive impairment, and those who care for them.

Further satellite sessions in more rural communities, based on a similar model, are also being planned.

They hope you will support this initiative by spreading the word as widely as possible. Paper copies of the flyer are also available; just contact the office indicating the number required and where you would like them to be posted or dropped off.
