Bath and North East Somerset's second annual regional dementia awareness conference will be held in Peasedown St John next Tuesday.

Organised by the Peasedown Community Trust and sponsored by law firm Stone King, the conference will feature keynote speakers, information stalls, networking, a lunch and an opportunity to meet charity leaders and experts working in the field of dementia research and awareness.

The chairwoman of Bath & North East Somerset Council, Cllr Karen Walker (Independent, Peasedown), said: “We're thrilled to be hosting this conference in Peasedown St John.

“Every three minutes, someone in the UK will develop dementia. With dementia on the rise, communities across the country are making a stand, and Peasedown St John is no different.
