EDUCATE – Early Dementia User’s Co-operative Aiming To Educate – looks to give people with dementia a voice through involvement in training, or speaking to others about their experiences of having dementia. EDUCATE is part of a two year multi agency project funded by the Department of Health to set up peer support for people with dementia.

Organisations involved in the project include NHS Stockport, Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust, Stockport Council’s Adult Social Care, Age Concern and the Alzheimer’s Society. People wanting to get involved in EDUCATE are invited to an introductory session to be held at the Cheshire Conference Centre, Edgeley, Stockport on the afternoon of Wednesday 2nd December.
