Once a month the Dementia Carer Support group takes places at Gainsborough House from 10am to 12pm on the first Wednesday of the month.

The group allows for people dealing with dementia to come and have a chat with other people with dementia and other people have to care for people with dementia.

The group was officially opened by the former Mayor of Gainsborough, Coun Mick Tinker, in May this year.

For more information about the group call founders Jean Male on 01427 613033 or Mavis Wharton on 01777 816751.
