Cowley holding free dementia event at Don Bosco Centre
Connect and Thrive Live will take place in Cowley on Wednesday, May 27 from 10am to 1pm at the Don Bosco Centre.
It aims to show that a dementia diagnosis does not mean giving up the activities you enjoy.
Organised by Dementia Oxfordshire, a service provided by Age UK Oxfordshire, the event will bring together organisations, community groups, and activity providers from across the county.
Information stands will offer details about a wide range of activities, from art classes to inclusive choirs, book groups to days out.
A programme of taster sessions will run throughout the morning, including Tai Chi, poetry workshops, and a seated dance class.
These are designed to encourage guests to try new things in a supportive and inclusive environment.
Attendees can also enjoy refreshments from a Paris-themed café and relax to live music in a friendly setting.
The event is free to attend, and all are welcome.
