Supporting Life Beyond Dementia in Coleraine

Turley Legal is delighted to support NI - Life beyond diagnosis and its new community programme being delivered in partnership with Coleraine FC.

The six-week pilot will provide a welcoming and supportive environment for people living with early to mid-stage dementia and their care partners, with opportunities to stay active, enjoy meaningful activities and remain socially connected.

At the heart of the programme is a simple but important aim – helping people retain their confidence, identity, purpose and sense of belonging following a diagnosis.

As a local business, we are very pleased to make a donation towards bringing the programme to Coleraine and supporting an initiative that will make a positive difference to people and families within our community.

We wish NI Life Beyond Dementia, Coleraine FC and everyone taking part every success with the programme.
