Story

Dementia Matters in Powys (DMiP) is an independent charity, supporting those living with dementia, their families and carers.  When CV-19 prevented the Meeting Centre doors being opened DMiP immediately set about offering support in alternative ways, the first in the country to offer Virtual Meeting Centres and Virtual Carer's Support Groups.  DMiP are funded by the National Lottery to facilitate the Meeting Centres, while the National Lottery are incredibly supportive of the new services this isn't what they funded DMiP for; DMiP also benefit from many local fundraising efforts in the community, these can't happen this year, so, while in lockdown, I'm planning for my husband to take the shears to my hair when this campaign reaches £500 - can you help?

About the charity

Dementia Matters in Powys is a newly-established charitable organisation that works in partnership with communities, third-sector and statutory organisations to develop and share innovative practice. The ultimate collective goal is to create a dementia friendly county that fully supports the health, well-being and quality of life of people living with dementia or at evident risk of dementia, and those who care for them. Dementia Matters in Powys is committed to giving a voice to those living with dementia and doing things ‘with’ people rather than ‘for’ them. By working together in this way we will create communities that respect, value and empower individuals so that they are more able to face the challenges before them and can exercise more choice and control in their own lives. Our vision can be simply summed up as : Powys – Communities Where People With Dementia Matter
