We want to help local communities learn more about the disease, and to be better equipped to support and assist carers and people living with dementia.
We want to reach as many people as we can with our toolkit that any community or social group can share and utilise in a group discussion.
Ultimately to help those living with dementia and to support their carers.
Why? People are not talking enough about dementia and it’s becoming a much bigger problem
Why? To ensure early diagnosis, to support getting help quickly, and aid being prepared
Why? For carers and communities to support decision making, enhance caregiving skills, and improve the quality of life for those living with dementia

Open communication with your healthcare team is essential when addressing concerns or questions about memory problems or dementia symptoms.
That’s why we’ve developed a guide specifically for your initial visit to a GP or healthcare professional (HCP). This guide is designed to support you during your conversation, ensuring you have the information you need to navigate your appointment effectively.
If you have any queries or would like to inquire about our toolkits, please fill out the form below. A member of our team will get back to you as soon as possible.
