Coast and Castles Bike Ride

My father has Alzheimer’s and I’ve witnessed the heartbreaking impact it has had on all those who love him. I personally feel there is a lack of support from national charities such as The Alzheimer’s Society and more places like The Bradbury Centre are needed to offer respite for carers and a safe environment for those with dementia to go.

Edith's Story

With your support we can help more people with Dementia like Edith and her family.

Where your money goes

Unlike large national charities, Dementia Matters do not have huge fundraising resources. This has two impacts on a charity like ours. Firstly, it means that it is always a challenge to bring the funds in that we need to provide those “extra” services. Secondly, however, it means that practically every penny donated goes to the people we support.
