Successful Ageing: the Memory Course

The memory course aims to provide information about memory processes and to reduce anxiety about memory problems. This is through helping members to consider common memory problems associated with increasing age, how this can affect
activities of daily living and what can be done to prevent or manage such problems.

Each group consists of 12 members who must be available to attend the 4 (weekly) meetings to fully benefit from the course. Courses are now full until Autumn 2010

Leaders: Sylvia Dillon and Norma Seddon
Coordinators: Wendy Craddock 01772 600 543 and Ann Haskell 579 569
