Creating a new resource to support social prescribing in the UK
With the help of so many we have built a new tool to support the care of those living with dementia by social prescribers
How Kendra helped her uncle to understand his dementia diagnosis
Kendra tells us why getting a formal dementia diagnosis was so important to her and her uncle, and how she was able to explain vascular dementia might affect him.
Join us to improve Forward with Dementia
We plan to add a whole new section to the website about support services in the home. This will be for people who receive care at home and people who support people living with dementia and their families at home (social care providers).
Following a dementia diagnosis, it’s only natural to ask questions
A diagnosis is the first step in moving forward with dementia. Many people with dementia live full and meaningful lives after diagnosis.
On this website, people with dementia have shared their good and bad experiences, so you can learn from them and find useful strategies. This, combined with evidence based research, will help you choose your own path forward.

We exist to help everyone move forwards
With the help of Healthcare professionals, people living with dementia and care partners we’ve tried to create a comprehensive tool featuring up to date information and guidance for living with dementia.
We are free to all and available on any device. Our toolkit has been specially designed to make living with dementia easier to understand for your patients and their care partners.
But, we can only improve this resource with your help. If you have suggestions for articles, diagnosis communication tips or anything else we would love to hear from you.
