On Friday there will be a coffee morning at the library from 10.30am to 12.30pm with a dementia friends session at 1pm for anyone to attend as long as they book in with the library.

Sleaford Dementia Support secretary Bex Mezzo said the group is now a registered charity with the Charity Commission. She said: “This came about because the residents in the Sleaford area have been so very generous with our community group that is now a charity.”
