A third of people with dementia in the UK are living within the community, which means thousands of families and friends are supporting someone close to them with this devastating disease.
“The progressive nature of dementia means it can often be challenging and for many carers lead to feelings of isolation. By coming together to share experiences and ideas we hope to show families that they are not alone and to highlight those areas where extra support is urgently needed. This falls strongly in line with Government moves to ensure that informal dementia carers receive the emotional and psychological support they need.”
