Arts 4 Dementia warmly invites arts organisations learning managers, facilitators, artists, and healthcare professionals to book a place on our upcoming Early-Stage Dementia Awareness Training. 

“Having been to many workshops (so feel that I am qualified to say) I thought it was fantastic, it was inspirational and uplifting (which was a surprise). The format of the day worked really well, and Aubrey was a humorous, engaging and an extremely knowledgeable speaker and your insights were invaluable too. It was fantastic to meet so many like-minded people from such varied artistic practices and backgrounds. It was a thoroughly enlightening day.”
