RESIDENTS in a Hampshire town can find out more about memory loss when a community project gets into full swing next week.

Ten information points have been set up by the Lymington Dementia Action Group across the New Forest town to raise awareness of the debilitating condition as part of National Dementia Awareness Week.

Visitors to the ten sites can find out a whole host of information about senility.

Over 45 businesses and organisations in Lymington have pledged their commitment to help make Lymington one of the most Dementia Friendly communities in the South.

Bernadette Mills member of Lymington Dementia Action Group and managing director of Bluebird Care said: “Supporting these activities is absolutely essential if people with dementia are to live well each day.

“Making information more accessible and raising awareness is a big challenge that we should all be working towards.”

Those sites which are confirmed are Waitrose supermarket, Stanford Road, The Coates Centre in Lower Pennington Road, Webb-Peploe Surgery, Church Lane, Chawton House Surgery in St Thomas Street and Lymington Hospital, Welworthy Road.

The group will also have a mobile information point, which will be out from 11am to 1pm every day during the week at various locations across town.

It will be at at Lymington Hospital, Welwothy Road (Monday May 18), Lymington High Street (Tuesday May 19), Lymington Community Centre, New Street (Wednesday May 20), Waitrose Car park, Stanford Road (Thursday May 21) and in the forecourt of United Reformed Church, High Street (Friday May 22).
