Talk to someone who gets it

“‘I enjoyed our conversations and felt like I was talking to a friend.’ Sharon Hobbs, Peer Participant

If you are living with dementia or caring for someone living with dementia you can receive support from a volunteer Peer Leader.

You will be connected with someone in similar circumstances who can share aspects of their journey that may be helpful.

A person living with dementia is matched to another person living with dementia; a carer is matched to a carer. Whether it's a single call or several, there's nothing like talking to someone 'who gets it'.
