Established in 2015, we support carers in our community and the people they care for who are living with dementia, by providing inclusive social activities, practical support, and a welcoming environment where everyone feels part of a strong, understanding community.

Our aim—then and now—is to offer meaningful support, reduce isolation, and raise awareness of dementia and the challenges it brings.

We believe that it’s possible to live well with dementia. Our work helps people feel supported, connected, and valued within their community. While all of our activities remain free, donations help cover essential costs such as venue hire, materials, and refreshments. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps us continue this vital work. Thank you for your support.

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