Dementia Support Groups
CRISP (Carer Information and Support Programme)
Are you concerned about your finances? Do you have access to good quality information? Do you worry about the future? Do you feel isolated and unable to cope with your new caring role? Don’t panic, help is at hand. It is possible to live well with dementia.
Our CrISP courses run over four sessions once a week for about 90 minutes. These sessions are usually in the evenings and online. They provide an ideal opportunity for you to meet other carers for vital peer support. Call or email for details of the next course.

Our Dementia Advisers are here to support you if you have a dementia diagnosis or care for someone who does. They provide a range of support including information about local groups and services, signposting for things like legal and benefits help and emotional support. They can also answer your dementia questions and help with some of the more challenging aspects of this disease.
