Community Workshops in Barnsley
As dementia experts serving Barnsley, Sheffield and South Yorkshire, we’re passionate about making dementia education, health awareness and practical care training accessible to local communities.
Dementia affects everyone: not just the person living with it, but their families, friends, carers, colleagues and wider support networks. Through our community training workshops in Barnsley and Sheffield, we share our specialist knowledge to help people better understand dementia and other important health and social care topics, building awareness, confidence and quality of life.
We’ve delivered dementia awareness training and community education to a wide range of local groups and organisations, including paramedic students, supermarket staff, Women’s Institute (WI) groups and legal teams. Our workshops are friendly, informative and accessible, and every session is tailored to the needs of your Barnsley workplace, organisation or community group.
