Once again, Dementia awareness has been given a resounding thumbs up as the annual Demfest festival held at Sir Harold Hillier Gardens, organised by the Romsey Dementia Action Group (ROMDAG) receives funding to help this event run for another year. This will be the 4th year of the family festival, where people can come and listen to music, a range of speakers and gain information from a range of organisations providing information 
and support for carers and professionals and those living with dementia.
Unity, whose aim is to provide support to charities and community groups across Test Valley, have helped this small group to attract nearly £3,000 in funding from the Hampshire County Council, Culture and Activity Grants for this year’s festival.
Terry Bishop, Chief Executive of Unity said:
The Demfest event is an important festival and attracts people from across Hampshire. Unity are pleased to be able to announce this funding for a small group who do so much to raise awareness of Dementia locally.
Demfest will take place from 11am – 4pm on Sunday 8th July 2018 at Sir Harold Hillier Gardens, for more information about the festival or ROMDAG go to www.romdag.org.uk
