The Recovery College @Deepdale has launched a Dementia Hub next to the Minerva Centre at Deepdale Stadium, which will bring together a range of local support services in one place.
What’s it all about?
Held monthly, the Dementia Hub will provide a regular opportunity to simply drop-in and ask questions, learn what support you may be able to access, and to spend time with other people living and caring for people with dementia.

"The difference for living well”

"Preston Dementia Hub is about giving people living with dementia and carers somewhere they can go in person when they have questions or just when they want to call in for a brew and a chat and to see what's new in Preston."
