A series of workshops aimed at carers of people with dementia will be held on May 16 to mark Dementia Awareness Week.

The workshops will include a question and answer session covering a checklist for carers of people with dementia. Advice on what services can be accessed by dementia sufferers will also be available.

Refreshments are available to all those who attend.

Dean Thomas, of Caerphilly Funeral Services, said: “We know that dementia is one of the biggest issues we are facing as a community with more people suffering from it.
