Free Dementia Support Workshops in Wembley: Guidance for Carers This February
Looking after someone living with dementia often means navigating new challenges every week. From understanding changes in behaviour to figuring out social care systems, it can feel like you’re expected to become an expert overnight.
The Understanding Dementia Workshops 2026 in Wembley have been created to offer practical, down-to-earth support for carers. This free six-week programme provides useful guidance, open discussion and the reassurance that you are not alone. Even though the series has already started, there is still time to attend the remaining sessions, and earlier workshops can be accessed via recording.
Where and When?
When? Mondays, 12pm–2pm
Where? Church of the Ascension, Wembley Park, HA9 9QL
You can also join remotely via Microsoft Teams.
Attend every week or select the sessions that feel most relevant to your situation.

What the Workshops Cover
The sessions focus on real-life situations rather than theory. Topics include:
– Practical advice on accessing local social care support
– Tips for reducing falls and supporting physical wellbeing
– Strategies to improve communication
– Understanding behaviours that may feel difficult or distressing

Just as important as the information is the opportunity to connect with others who understand the emotional side of caring.
