People caring for someone with dementia are being offered the chance to learn more about the condition and how it affects the individual.

The next in a series of courses run by the Alzheimer’s Society will take place at Carrick Town Hall, starting on Wednesday March 8.

The courses aim to help carers understand more about the condition and its symptoms, including the sort of behaviours that people may display which can at times be challenging.
