Help families find joy this season
Just a month before Christmas last year, Jonathan was diagnosed with younger onset dementia at only 55.
His wife Sophie was determined to find help. Her first call to the National Dementia Helpline brought them the guidance they needed to face the challenges ahead, connecting their family with essential services during an incredibly difficult time.
This Christmas, your support ensures that families like Jonathan's have access to vital services from emotional support to expert advice - so no one has to face dementia alone.
