Dementia Carers Together Appeal
Dementia carers are reaching breaking point. Together, we can change that.
What is Dementia Carers Together?
Behind every person with dementia is someone caring for them.
Caring for someone living with dementia can be challenging, and receiving a diagnosis is often a very daunting and emotional time for families. Every day, thousands of dementia carers juggle exhaustion, isolation and overwhelming responsibilities – and too many don’t know where to turn for help.
Through our Dementia Carers Together Appeal, in partnership with the Daily Mail, we’re raising funds for a nationwide programme with local support sessions that ensures no carer faces dementia alone.
This appeal is about more than fundraising. It’s about creating a national movement that puts dementia carers at the heart of the conversation and ensures they get the support they deserve.
Your donation will support our Carer Education programme – which is now available – and allow us to expand into more communities across Scotland.
With your help, we can ensure more carers have access to the knowledge, confidence and community they need, and create a lasting legacy for dementia carers across the country.
Carer Education
Our Carer Education programmes are engaging and informative sessions for family carers who are supporting someone living with dementia.
Sessions are delivered either in person or online, once a week, with the in-person sessions running alongside a café/activity session. This allows carers to attend without worry or fear of speaking freely, knowing that the person they care for is in a safe and supportive environment close by.
Shaped by carers’ lived experiences and free to access, the service focuses on the issues that matter most – from understanding rights and navigating care systems to managing finances, wellbeing and planning for the future – so no one feels alone on their caring journey.
