This event is brought to you by three Bristol charities specialising in dementia, research, and improving the lives and care of older people.

BRACE Dementia Research based at Southmead Hospital. The charity funds world-class clinical and laboratory research into dementia to find better treatments, achieve earlier diagnosis and hopefully, one day, a cure. Together, we will defeat dementia.

Bristol Dementia Action Alliance educates the communities of Bristol about dementia and supports those living with dementia and their loved ones through activity groups. BDAA provides free dementia awareness sessions for businesses, organisations and groups and recognises those who are striving to make Bristol a dementia aware city through its annual BDAA Awards.
