Lee Allen, Service Manager for the Alzheimer's Society in the West Midlands, said: "We'll be here to talk to anyone who has questions about dementia, and whatever your relationship to dementia, there are lots of ways the roadshow can help.
"For example, if you are worried about your memory or that of a loved one and want expert advice, if you or a loved one have been newly diagnosed and you're looking for more information and support, or if you have a general interest in dementia and want to learn more about how you can help or how to reduce your risk.
"We can also put you in contact with service providers and give you information booklets to take away."
Councillor Sandra Samuels OBE, the City of Wolverhampton Council's Cabinet Member for Adult Services, said: "Wolverhampton is a Dementia Friendly Community and so we are very pleased to be hosting this roadshow.
"This is an important opportunity for people living with dementia, and their families and carers, to speak to experts from the Alzheimer's Society about this debilitating condition, and to find out more about the help and support available to them here in Wolverhampton."
