Aim
To enable those individuals, carers and all families struggling with a diagnosis of dementia, to live a more fulfilled and independent life
Vision
Our vision, is to identify as many people struggling with the diagnosis of dementia, their family and their carers, to gain support and training, to enable them to cope better, with the outcomes of the condition.
A simple and practical Approach
We aim to provide support, by specialised training in social settings, that reduces anxiety, loneliness, isolation and social dislocation. To promote an individual, to provide a bespoke and person- centred approach, to all the individuals, their family and their main carers, affected with the diagnosis.
We wish to support the person, the carers and the family, with simple training applications, to further understand more about dementia in general.
We will offer training packages to suit the individual and that are bespoke to the individual.
Use of the Funds
We hope to, purchase training aids, dementia aids, sensory aids and provide training workshops, to support in the many ways that we can. We also wish to fund more of our many social activities, that had been curtailed by Covid19, where we can invite people to obtain our help, from the project.
The team
We have a fantastic team of qualified Dementia Advocates, who have years of experience in this field and who have joined together to provide voluntary social and financial support, to help others in the extremely challenging situation, that they find themselves in.
