Ensuring that carers know they have someone to rely on throughout their journey with dementia.

5,456 manual reviews completed

Our Dementia Advisers provide support to our clients and carers through 6-monthly reviews. These are calls or visits with either the client, carer or both every 6 months to find out what tailored practical or emotional support would benefit them.

27 groups hosted/supported

We support or host in-person and online groups across the county. These offer people living with dementia and carers the chance to socialise with others and to share and learn from each other.

731 support line calls taken

Our support line, staffed by Dementia Advisers, provides anonymous telephone advice and support to clients, carers, relatives, professionals and members of the community who have questions or concerns relating to dementia.

79 education and awareness sessions

We run a variety of education sessions for people living with dementia and their carers, and dementia awareness sessions for local organisations and businesses. These help people living with dementia to gain more confidence and get better support from their carers and their community.

How we make a difference

Our qualitative research has uncovered three main ways we make an impact:

2

Preventing people living with dementia and their carers experiencing isolation and loneliness

3

Increasing confidence of carers in their caring role and improving the carer-cared-for relationship, through education
