In the UK there are currently 850,000 people living with dementia. This is projected to rise to 1.6 million by 2040. In fact, someone develops dementia every three minutes.Until a cure is found we need better ways of living with this condition. Dementia Adventure believes, with the right support, people living with dementia can continue to enjoy outdoor activities, keep active and retain a sense of adventure in their lives. We have trained thousands of individuals to think differently about dementia and enabled hundreds to enjoy a supported dementia holiday, short break outing - making a huge difference to the health and wellbeing of people with dementia and their families.

You may or may not know that my Mum was diagnosed with extremely advanced Vascular Dementia just before her 64th birthday. She had just retired after having a successful sales career for the last 25+ years within the IT Tech industry and was set to embark on a new chapter of her life with Dad. Whilst she is now on her next chapter it is very different to the one we envisaged and extremely tough for those around her. I really want to raise awareness against this cruel disease and give the opportunity for families similar to mine to receive the support they need.
