Supporting carers

Understanding dementia: the essentials
Dementia carers need your help
Families living with dementia often report feeling invisible. For the person with dementia, the effects are devastating, but it also has a huge impact on the person who has taken on the role of carer.
Feeling supported and heard and seen can make a big difference.
Every day, our team of health and care professionals at Dementia Carers Count work directly with carers and organisations across the UK to support families living with dementia; but we need your help.
Together we need to raise awareness of what it’s like to care for someone with dementia and how carers can be better supported.
Together we need to raise the necessary funds to ensure that our services continue to be available free of charge.
We are in this together.

Donate
Your donation ensures that more family carers of people with dementia can access our services when they need them most.
