TWO organisations have teamed-up to raise awareness of dementia and launch wellness walks.
Dementia Friendly Keighley has joined forces with the Friends of Cliffe Castle for the initiative.
The walks will be slow-paced and cover a distance of around a mile.
Social distancing measures will be in place.
The first session takes place on Wednesday (May 19), from 10am.
Julie Lintern, manager of Dementia Friendly Keighley, said: “We are delighted to be teaming-up with Cliffe Castle to raise awareness of dementia and also to launch a series of wellness walks – organised by Cliffe Castle.
“The aim is to connect walkers to the sights, scents and sounds within the park.
“We will also be offering people the opportunity to sign-up for dementia awareness sessions, a relaxed and informative overview of dementia and its impact on the people living with it.”
For further information about the walks, contact Dementia Friendly Keighley on 07452 773788 or info@dementiafriendlykeighley.org.uk.
The charity’s offices are open for appointments only.
