Our community event on 13th November 2025 brought together local residents and health professionals for an informative day focused on wellbeing, health checks, dementia awareness, and breast cancer education.

Memory Support
Hertfordshire

The team provided an overview of their services for people living with dementia, including community support, carer training, and efforts to build dementia-friendly communities.

Attendees learned about the types of dementia, early signs and symptoms, and the difference between dementia and normal ageing. A short documentary was also shown, and participants received the Alzheimer’s Society symptoms checklist.

Breast Cancer Awareness

Ambreen Tariq from Safeena Muslim Cancer Support Network delivered a powerful session on cancer basics, early detection, risk factors, and symptoms, and highlighted the work of Safeena, who provides breast cancer education across the UK.
