About Peer Leaders
Peer Leaders offer their time to provide empathy and support to people living with dementia or carers.
They share from their own living experience as someone who is living with dementia, or caring for someone living with dementia.
Who can become a Peer Leader?
If you live with dementia or care for someone who does, and you feel empathetic and able to chat with someone like you, you can apply to become a Peer Leader.
- Help others on a similar path
- Give back to the community
- Honour a loved one

I enjoy hearing the change in their voice when they realise “it’s not just me”. They don’t need to feel alone
