Help families find joy
Jonathan was devastated when he received the news that he has younger onset dementia. He was only 55.
His wife Sophie, heartbroken but determined to find help, reached out for support. That 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.
Your support can ensure families like Jonathan's have access to the essential services they need — from emotional support to expert advice — so no one has to face dementia alone.
