Royal Holloway is hosting its ‘AgeWell Café’ event on Saturday April 18 in Englefield Green, to bring together researchers and community members for an informal conversation exploring how our brains change with age.

The afternoon will highlight research insights on hormonal changes, menopause, hearing health, and memory changes.

Whether experiencing changes yourself, supporting someone who is, or simply wanting to know more, the event is open to anyone, with no prior knowledge needed. 

The afternoon will include short accessible talks on each topic, followed by small group discussions where attendees can share their experiences and ask questions; all over tea, coffee, and cake.

Dr Anna-Katharina Bauer from Royal Holloway's Department of Psychology, said: “As we age, our brains change, whether that is through hormonal shifts, hearing changes or memory.

“We wanted to create a space where people can learn about these changes in an informal, welcoming setting and hope to see many people there.”

The free event will be at The Hub Englefield Green and run from 2pm to 5pm. Those wishing to attend will need to register via Eventbrite.
