East Lancs Dementia Hub - Please share!

​In August last year we commenced a new contract (funded by L&SC ICB) working in partnership with the Alzheimer’s Society to deliver post diagnostic support County wide.  For Age UK Lancashire, this meant the roll out of our Cognitive Stimulation Therapy Programme across Lancashire and the development and running of 9 Dementia Information Hubs, one of which would be in East Lancashire.

I am therefore pleased to announce that the East Lancashire Dementia Hub will be launched on Thursday 14th May 2026, 1pm to 3pm in the activity room at Calico Dovestone Gardens, Briercliffe Rd, Burnley BB10 1BB and will be delivered alongside our community partner Beacon Dementia and Wellbeing. 


​The sessions will then take place every month thereafter on the 2nd Thursday of each month, same time and location.  These are regular FREE drop-in sessions providing an opportunity for people with dementia benefit from social/peer support with a brew, speak to a professional and access relevant and appropriate information, advice and support. 

​The first session will allow us the opportunity to understand from those attending how they wish future sessions to take shape.
