🧠 IMPROVING EVERYDAY MEMORY: Seven Lessons from an Amnesiac
How good is your memory? And why do we forget the things we really meant to remember?
Join us at St Mary’s Church, Hendon for a fascinating and engaging talk with Professor Catherine Loveday, author of The Secret World of the Brain and host of Mempathy.
Catherine has been researching human memory for 35 years and is passionate about helping us understand how memory works — and why it sometimes lets us down!
She is an expert advisor to Age UK Barnet, where she led the development of their Memory Matters programme, and is a regular contributor to BBC Radio 4 and Radio 3 Unwind.
Following the talk, Catherine will also share practical resources she has developed to help improve memory in all of us and support people living with memory loss.
📅 Saturday 5 September
⏰ Open Church from 12 noon–4pm | Talk at 2pm
📍 St Mary’s Church, 49 Church End, NW4 4JT
