Waiting for a dementia diagnosis can be agonising for families, as they look to the future with fear and uncertainty. We are asking people to help ensure  families waiting for a diagnosis are not left without support.

 

We will do absolutely everything we can to fill the gap left by the closing of diagnosis services, including expanding services to meet the growing need. But as a local charity we can only do so with support.

 

We know this is a difficult time of year to be asking for donations and we’re immensely grateful to those who give to our regular appeals, which mean we can support our current customers and their families when they need it most. However, the sudden and unexpected temporary closure of the dementia assessment service will leave many people in limbo; we know we can help, we want to help but being a young charity means we do not have the reserves in the bank to call on, to enable us to offer the support they will need.
