[annie]

A NEW dementia pub is being launched to rekindle happy memories for sufferers in East Lancashire.

Specialists health workers at The Harbour in Blackpool, which caters for local sufferers, have come up with the concept.

Part of Dementia Awareness Week, the Lancashire Care NHS Foundation Trust scheme has been created in an enclosed garden area at the complex.

The completed non-alcoholic bar will have pumps, pump badges, cask taps, a dart board and ice buckets to make the experience as authentic and mentally stimulating as possible, with the intention being to prompt conversation, keep people engaged and stimulate memories
