Neurodegenerative conditions and loneliness – take part in our creative workshops

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
  • Think about new technology (like apps, gadgets, or robots)
  • Find ways to help people feel more connected
