Our community

Why join us

Living with dementia or memory changes can sometimes feel isolating. Dementia Associates offers a supportive space where people can connect with others and take part in ways that feel right for them.
There is no pressure to take part in everything, and no expectation to share more than you feel comfortable with.

Ways to get involved

Everyone is different, so we offer a range of ways to take part. You can choose what suits you, and you can change your mind at any time.

Speaking to students

Some Dementia Associates enjoy sharing their lived experience with students in relaxed, supported sessions. Speaking to students is always optional and only one of many ways to be involved.

Singing for the Brain

Delivered in partnership with the Alzheimer’s Society, our monthly Singing for the Brain sessions bring people together through music, familiar songs, and shared enjoyment in a warm and supportive setting.

Sip and Sow Society

Time spent in our dementia‑friendly garden with gentle gardening, tea, biscuits, and conversation. No gardening experience is needed.

Dementia Associates meetings

Informal get‑togethers to share updates, hear about opportunities, and stay connected to the wider work of the Hub.

Creative and community projects

Opportunities to take part in creative projects, events, and partnerships at your own pace and comfort level.
