We all met through the enjoyment we all get from singing in our local Pop Choir. Singing, especially in groups, is something which can greatly help those suffering through a dementia diagnosis and with so many of us affected by family or friends battling with the disease, our local charity Dementia Forward seemed truly fitting. 

We support anybody affected by dementia in North Yorkshire, whether they have dementia themselves or are directly involved in the care of someone with dementia. We can offer support pre-diagnosis and post-diagnosis, and can increase or reduce our support depending on an individual’s needs.

At Dementia Forward we see the whole person, not just the diagnosis. The people we support built our towns and cities, served our communities, taught our children, cared for us when we were ill. We believe that everyone should be respected and treated as an individual with their own unique tastes, desires, feelings and opinions, and we aim to get to know as much about a person as possible, so we can tailor our support.

We are aiming to complete the Great North Swim event in Lake Windermere on 10th June 2023. Anything you can spare to donate will help spur us all on and do so much good through Dementia Forward.
