Introduction
Join Bamber Bridge Women's Shed (in aid of Alzheimer's Society) at Withy Grove Park, Bamber Bridge in Autumn 2026 and share an incredible day with others who understand how it feels to be affected by dementia.
It will take a society to beat dementia, so gather your people and come along to support us for as little or as long as you can manage.
Share advice, laughter, and support at Bamber Bridge Memory Walk. And when you finish the route, celebrate knowing you have walked for a world where dementia no longer devastates lives.
