Welcome to The Dementia Experience
|
|
Based in Kent, we are dedicated to delivering joyful events that generate connection for those who have family members living with dementia.
We organise Regular Clubs such as our 'Hug in a Mug' coffee mornings & 'Joy in Motion' sessions as well as 'One off Wonders' such as uplifting classical concerts in care homes. We also run Information Sharing Sessions for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of dementia. Dementia can be an incredibly isolating and emotionally draining experience. We are here for you as a free, local support network. Everyone's situation is unique, with its own set of challenges. We firmly believe that by sharing our personal experiences and creating a supportive community, knowledge and positivity can be found. Our regular clubs, coffee mornings & resources are free to anyone who needs them. |

Reviews
"I think the dementia journey pushes us all to think about difficult things in new ways - life and death, and what it is to be human, what it is to communicate, what it is to connect, what it is to love somebody . That is the experience. It is a real journey that people go on. The way you're approaching it at The Dementia Experience - supporting one another as we try to find a way through what dementia is and remain connected to the people that we love. It's really important." Sarah Metcalfe, Managing Director of The Utley Foundation.
About The Dementia Experience
The Dementia Experience is a Community Interest Company (CIC) no: 15605406
This is a special type of limited company which exists to benefit the community. Although not a charity, a CIC is a not-for-profit social enterprise where any profit is put back into achieving social objectives in the community. As a CIC, The Dementia Experience must report to Companies House about our activities, pay tax, and file accounts to report on our expenditure each financial year.
While dementia presents significant challenges and heartache for those affected, there are incredibly valuable
moments of connection to be found. At The Dementia Experience, we focus on seeking out these nuggets of joy.
We believe that music, dancing, and laughter are powerful tools for creating meaningful moments and enhancing well-being.
By focusing on these positive experiences, we help individuals living with or alongside dementia
to discover moments of light during dark times.
