We aim to break down the stigma around Dementia by raising awareness of the societal, emotional, and financial impacts that are often hidden by discussing them openly. We believe that we can provide help and support throughout all stages of Dementia, Whether a loved one suspects Dementia in another, has just received a diagnosis or is in a progressive stage of Dementia. The diagnosis is often the focus of many support initiatives. Yet we all know that Dementia will have a significant impact on all of their friends, family and loved ones linked to the person with the diagnosis; these are the people who are often forgotten and who we want to support via Dementia Life!

Through our online and in-person meetings, we aim to introduce people with similar life experiences to each other, allowing them to share their journeys and support one another. We want our attendees to feel heard and to know they are not alone throughout their Dementia journey. We will also help facilitate larger, more complex community needs and, where appropriate, empower key individuals to jointly lead groups and networks, proactively creating environments and events that nurture long-lasting friendships and support networks.
