What to expect?
Nearly all of us know someone with dementia.
Many of us find ourselves caring for a parent, partner or family member who has dementia. Some of us who have been through this experience volunteer to help other carers along their journey. Starting from as little as an hour a week, or as much time as you can give, you really can make a difference in many ways.
Whether you want to develop new skills or give something back to your local community, you can make a real difference to dementia carers’ lives.
