The dementia bus is at The Forum in today. We started early as there was so much interest in the experience! It's drop in until 4:10pm but we will be here until 4:30pm to talk to.

Did you know that 1 in 3 people are projected to be affected by dementia during their lifetime?

This free event offers a valuable opportunity to learn more about dementia, gain a better understanding of the challenges people living with dementia face, and discover how we can all provide better support to those around us now and in the future.





The Training2Care Virtual Dementia Tour Bus is an immersive, scientifically proven experiential training programme that simulates the physical and mental challenges of living with dementia, helping participants develop greater empathy and understanding.

Commissioned by Norfolk Care Careers, support and information will be available throughout the day, with experts on hand to answer your questions.



We encourage anyone interested in learning more about dementia and supporting their community to come along.
