The training was held on 21st January 2016 at Haringey Irish Centre in Tottenham, with learning and discussion facilitated by Dr Mary Tilki. Volunteers and staff, carers and community members shared their own experiences and expertise within discussion and said the workshop was “very enjoyable” and “very informative”.
“this training should be for all carers and professionals who work with people with dementia”.

Thanks to support from City Bridge and The Irish Post, Irish in Britain is pleased to be able to offer this training free of charge to those supporting people with memory loss within Irish communities across London. We engage and support volunteers to assist Irish groups and organisations in London to develop accessible and inclusive activities and services for people experiencing memory loss and their carers.
