NATIONAL Dementia Action week starts tomorrow (May 21) and will see the launch of Minehead Forget-me-not memory loss support group.

The group, run by Minehead Dementia Action Alliance, will meet two afternoons a month, from 2pm to 4pm on the first and third Monday, at the Old Hospital.

Displays of books and leaflets are being put up in Watchet and Williton libraries to mark Dementia Action Week from Monday to Saturday (May 21-27).

Watchet Area Dementia Action Alliance (DAA) lead Margaret Tatham is hoping the library displays and an event at The Sanctuary, in Watchet, will encourage even more local people and businesses to become Dementia Friends.

The Dementia Friends sessions are in Watchet Library at 10.30am on Thursday and 11.30am on Friday in Williton Library.

There is also an evening session at 7.30pm on Friday in the Sanctuary, Watchet.
