Action on Dementia Sunderland

Our purpose is to provide support to people, within the City, who have dementia and also to their families and friends.  We also work to promote their interests.  As an independent, local group, we can guarantee that all funds raised and donations received will be used towards those ends.

We currently operate two Memory Cafés (each held monthly) based on the REPoD model. A third one is soon to be established.  We have also been actively engaged in a number of events to raise public awareness of dementia.

Windsor Dementia Support

We are a small group of volunteers and are currently well advanced in discussions with Winchester Rotary about starting a jointly run monthly reminiscence group for people with dementia and their carers.  In addition we run our own monthly 'music time' and tea party events, as well as undertaking some home visiting to provide information and support.
