Crows Nest Centre brought our community together for a special morning as part of Dementia Action Week 2026.
More than 50 locals joined us for a morning focused on raising awareness, encouraging conversation and building greater understanding around dementia.
Dr Wilson
The event featured an informative presentation from Dr Nikki-Anne Wilson, lecturer at the School of Psychology, University of NSW, and Conjoint Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Neuroscience Research Australia.
Dr Wilson shared valuable insights into brain health and ageing. Attendees also had the opportunity to learn about support available through Care Finder and Carers Gateway.
A highlight was the unveiling of our Community Mosaic Project, created from reflections, experiences and messages shared by people living with dementia, carers, families and members of our wider community.
The mosaic is a meaningful reminder that people living with dementia, and those who support them, are valued members of our community.
