The charity was the vision of several local people who had experienced dementia within their families and understood the lack of support and help available. They conducted a feasibility study which involved talking to people living with dementia, their families and carers and local dementia “professionals” which revealed that services were at best fragmented, that people did not know where to go or what to do once they had received a diagnosis or if they had concerns about memory or brain functioning – ultimately people felt alone and abandoned. The founders of Dementia Support felt passionately that those affected deserved better.
Libby Milling and Alistair handed over a cheque for £2550 to Lisa Hoare from Dementia Support.
Our past charity fundraising has raised money for Macmillan Midhurst, Canine Partners, Chestnut Tree House, Sussex Snowdrop Trust, Petworth Cottage Nursing Home and Midhurst Food bank.
