Today's Budget didn't contain any details of desperately needed investment in social care. Unpaid carers are still being taken for granted. This has to stop.

Share your experiences and views in our 2025 survey and help us improve the support available to dementia carers

Investment in improved diagnostic tools needs to be matched by investment in the care and support available to families after a dementia diagnosis.

We're delighted to announce that Dementia Carers Count has been awarded a generous grant of £19,834 from The National Lottery Community Fund – Awards for All England. This will allow us to reach and support even more unpaid dementia carers. 

Together with Amazon Alexa and presenter Ruth Langsford, we've launched a free, easy-to-use guide to help dementia carers make the most of Alexa-enabled devices.

People who use social care services, and those around them who support them through unpaid care, must be listened to by the Independent Commission for Adult Social Care

Dementia care has been given the prominence it deserves in the NHS 10 year plan

Additional funding for the NHS is welcome, but today's spending review continues to leave the burden of social care squarely on the shoulders of unpaid carers.

This Dementia Action Week, we're speaking out and we're speaking up for dementia carers who don't have any alternative care arrangements in place. This is the case for over three quarters of dementia carers.

We welcome the Casey Commission’s commitment to the long-term transformation of social care, but carers are at breaking point now.

Over 1,200 dementia carers responded to our survey. 76% don't have alternative care plans if they're not there to care.
