We had a fabulous day with Empowered Conversations, promoting our work and competing in the Age UK boat race at Salford Quays.

We won BOTH of our races but didn’t make the final...... but we are definitely WINNERS!

Lots of outreach going on at the moment. It’s so important we teach children how to look after their brains and hearts and lower their dementia risk in later life!

Our Biomedicine team have been busy raising dementia awareness in a local high school this week!

It’s all kicking off today, Tuesday 21st May 10-3pm at the Dementia Hub at the Allerton Building, University of Salford! Come down for a FREE mocktail, to buy a cake/candle/plant and see what we do here!

ALL WELCOME!
