Take on Snowdon and be rewarded with an epic view from the summit of Wales’ highest mountain. The Rhyd Ddu path is one of the quieter routes up Snowdon, offering a unique perspective compared to the more popular Llanberis, Pyg, or Miners tracks. Expect a full day on the mountain with some steep ascents. This unique journey offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle, providing moments of tranquility and awe.

Did you know dementia can affect you at any age? It does not discriminate.

Younger People with Dementia, also known as YPWD, is a registered charity operating in Southeast England. Our aim is to support people diagnosed with young onset dementia under the age of 65 by providing meaningful and age-appropriate services, whilst delivering support services for family members and loved ones.

Our main service is to provide activity-based workshops for people living with young onset dementia throughout the working week so that nobody feels isolated or alone. Examples of the age-appropriate activities we’ve delivered have included archery, cooking, climbing, equine therapy, and katakanuing. Our specialist team of support workers ensure there is a safe, fun and educational environment at each session, improving self-esteem, mood and cognition for participants.

Alongside running our daily workshops, one-to-one support and micro groups, we also deliver children’s groups, social events education & training and carer support.

YPWD is one of only a few dedicated services to this age group living with dementia in the United Kingdom.
