The Dementia Experience team enjoyed a gorgeous time together at the very lovely Woodchurch Vineyard, just as the heat wave arrived.
We are so grateful to Jenna, one of our volunteer directors, for sprinkling her gold dust that evening. Jenna is the founder of a new events company, Sync Inspire, & we were all so impressed by her effortless organisational skills & her imaginative approach to bringing people together. It was such a fab & fizzy atmosphere. We feel incredibly lucky to know one another, and be part of a such a dream team, that know how to work, and play! We're all about action — especially important when dementia can bring so much that feels out of our control. That frustration is real… but it’s not where we choose to stay.
Instead, we focus on the things we can do. The small actions that bring connection, understanding, confidence and joy. The moments that make someone’s dementia experience feel a little lighter and brighter. As we mark Dementia Action Week next week- 19th–24th May, we’re encouraging everyone to Take Action in whatever way feels possible for you. The brave & brilliant Jess Williams ran her first 10kms in honour of her darling mum, who lives with vascular dementia. Jess hadn’t run in nearly 20 years but decided in January to try again despite ongoing back issues and uncertainty about her limits. After years of pain, she gradually rebuilt strength through weight training and is now able to run again!—something that feels like a huge, joyful achievement. A huge thanks to Jess & all her sponsors.
A team of us are heading out to Morocco in October to take on a 50kms High Atlas trek- a challenge that represents resilience, love, and determination.
We are doing it for all those who love someone living with dementia. We walk in support for families who give so much every day, and in honour of those they care for. This journey is about turning personal experiences into something meaningful. All funds raised will support The Dementia Experience to create free, vibrant groups, run by talented and professional artist, where people can connect, build confidence, feel less alone, & challenge stigma. Please dig deep and sponsor the team to keep moving forward. Are you looking for a challenge that will make a massive difference?
This October, we’re taking on The 50km High Atlas Adventure in Morocco— not just as a physical trek, but as a powerful symbol of resilience, love, and determination. We’re walking for the brave family members who give so much, and in honour of those they love living with dementia. This life-changing adventure is a chance to challenge yourself, recharge, reflect, and turn personal experiences into something meaningful — all while helping raise vital funds to support families and carers, and bring nuggets of joy to those living with dementia. All funds raised will support The Dementia Experience — creating free, vibrant spaces where people can laugh, build confidence, feel less alone, and challenge stigma together.

This amazing 7 year old ran an incredible 5km challenge (which she absolutely smashed! 👏), and we are so proud of her achievement and grateful to all her donors! Crowdfunding For Good From JustGiving Nina has managed to raise just over £1000 and the money will be put towards two of our important projects. Her mum Caroline, one of our directors, gave "A huge thank you to everyone who supported Nina on her run. The money raised will go towards funding joyful activities for those who are caring for people with dementia- choirs, coffee mornings and concerts. These nuggets of joy help make the suffering more bearable. Nina is so proud of herself and couldn't have done it without all your support. Thank you!" Thank you Nina from us all💛 |
