Dementia support in additional languages

TIDE ‘together in dementia everyday’, is a UK wide involvement network of carers, former carers and health and care professionals who are working together to build a better future for carers of people living with dementia.

All online events are aimed at Carers of people with dementia and are free to join. Click here.

The Carers’ Support Service is a member of North Lincolnshire Dementia Action Alliance which aims to raise awareness of dementia at a local level in order to reduce the stigma of dementia. For more information or to join please click here 

Many of our staff, trustees and volunteers have undergone training to become a Dementia Friend. A Dementia Friend learns a little bit more about what it is like to live with dementia and then turns that understanding into action – from helping someone to find the right bus to spreading the word about dementia on social media. Please click here for more information or call Rosa on 01652 650585.

For more information about living well, planning ahead, and staying independent visit the Dementia Directory.
