Find help for people living with dementia and people in their support network.

Who we help

We support people living with dementia and their families, friends and carers.

A confirmed, formal diagnosis is required to access the support groups.

Support we offer includes:

  • networks to encourage and enable people living with dementia to support each other and share experiences facilitated by professional support
  • strength-based support – we help people achieve the things they want to do in their everyday lives
  • helping people build their self-confidence, achieve their aspirations, and celebrate their success
  • accessible wellbeing, cultural and sporting group activities in the community
  • working in co-production with people living with dementia to develop social engagement opportunities and promote wellbeing
  • working with carers, family and friends by offering shared support, information and advice
  • cognitive stimulation therapy programmes

How to get support

Access to the service is via referral. Any person can make a referral including professionals, people living with dementia, families, friends and carers by phone or email.
