Everything you need to know about the one-stop dementia shop in Southport and Bootle

First ever Dementia Wellbeing Hubs in Sefton 
 
Alzheimer’s Society, Sefton has organized the very first Dementia 
Wellbeing Hubs in the borough at Southport and Bootle during 
Dementia Action Week in May 
 
Two unique events will be taking place to support anyone affected 
by dementia or worried about their memory. The first will be at the 
Atkinson in Southport on Monday 15 May and the second at the 
Strand by Me shop unit at Bootle Strand Shopping Centre on 
Thursday 18 May. 
 
Barry Lyon, Local Service Manager said “We know how daunting it 
can be when you first get a dementia diagnosis. There are so many 
services available, forms to fill in, people to see and so on. Our 
Wellbeing Hubs plan to have a range of services all in one place so 
that, as well as getting vital information and support, you will be 
able to apply for things there and then. It’s like a one stop dementia 
shop.” 
 
 
 Alongside local Alzheimer’s Society staff, there will be 
representatives from Sefton Council, Sefton Carers’ Centre, Adult 
Social Care and the Memory Clinic, providing support with Blue 
Badge, Council Tax discounts, benefits, dementia risk factors, 
medication, social care assessments and much more. 
 
Both events will take place between 10.30am and 4pm. There is no 
need to book, just come along on the day.
