We’re inviting people with a neurodegenerative condition like Parkinson’s or dementia, and people who care for someone with a neurodegenerative condition, to take part in a series of workshops in Bristol to share your views and help shape new technology.
What’s it about?
We want to learn how technology can help:
- People who care for someone with a brain condition
- People who feel lonely or left out
We’re running five fun workshops for:
- Unpaid carers of people with Parkinson’s or dementia (people who help someone without being paid)
- People with a neurodegenerative condition/brain condition like with Parkinson’s or dementia
You’ll all be in the same group, working together.
In the workshops, we will:
- Share ideas
