We are a group of people who care for someone with dementia. Our main aim is to lobby, campaign and work towards improving services.

We would like others to join us in our efforts to make changes within care services, which will benefit people with dementia and those who care for them.

 

Do you care for someone who has dementia? – Come and help us make a difference

Why do we need you?

Your experiences as a carer are important in trying to influence changes to improve the lives of people with dementia and their carers.

Sharing your experiences with others is also important as it may help to cope with the difficulties of the illness.

We meet every 6 weeks at the Oakland Centre, Morven Terrace, Dundee.

What do we do?

  • We give support and share our experiences of caring for someone with dementia
  • We campaign for better services
  • We attend conferences
  • We are consulted by professionals
  • We have a voice
  • We want to influence change

Change happens when those who do not usually speak are heard by those who do not usually listen
- John O’Brien

Now is the time to speak out — people really do want to listen
