Established in August 2015, we support people living with dementia and their carers by providing inclusive social activities, practical support, and a strong sense of community.

Our aim then, and now, is to offer much-needed support while encouraging local businesses and the wider Hythe community to become Dementia Aware.

We believe that no one living with dementia should feel alone. Our work helps people feel supported, connected, and valued within their community. While all of our activities remain free for people living with dementia, donations help cover essential costs such as venue hire, materials, and refreshments. Every donation, no matter the size, helps us continue this vital work, and if you are able to support us, we would be incredibly grateful.

To see What’s On and What’s Coming Up this year, please visit our Weekly Social Activities page.

We also hold local meetings at the Hythe Town Council Offices on Thursdays from 10.00am to 11.30am. These meetings give members living with dementia and their carers the opportunity to receive updates, meet our volunteers and supporters, take part in general discussions, and hear from a range of community services. If you would like to join us, please do get in touch.

Forum Meeting Dates for 2026:
