Hosted by Motorsport's Steve Rider and @PaulONeill29 held at Williams Conference Centre in association with @autosport ?https://t.co/6dc2rmlikH
Attendees will be able to tour the infamous Williams museum, charting the team's journey to over 100 grand prix victories, seven drivers' championships and nine constructors' titles.
The charity holds social groups once a month all over the UK, uses the history of sport to stimulate attendees.
Quizzes, physical activities and a look back at pictures and film from the past all help to create an exciting day out for those in need of a welcome distraction, or those suffering with dementia or Alzheimer's.
O'Neill and Rider will join a number of motorsport figures - including Autosport's international editor Jack Benyon who is an official ambassador of the charity - who will run on its behalf at the Great North Run in September, preceding the Williams event.
