We’re proud to partner with Dementia NI as our Charity of the Year 2024

About Dementia NI

Dementia NI empowers local people with dementia to live well and drive positive change. The charity promotes the rights of people living with dementia to be involved in decisions that affect their everyday lives. It is also focused on raising awareness to challenge the stigma of a dementia diagnosis whilst offering support to those affected.

What Dementia NI Do

Empowerment Groups

The charity has established Dementia Empowerment Groups throughout Northern Ireland, which provide a place for members who have been diagnosed with dementia to share their experiences and receive peer support.

Consulting, engaging and involving members

Dementia NI members engage with organisations throughout Northern Ireland to advise them on how to make their services, policies, and practices more suitable for people living with dementia.

In the Same Boat Service

Dementia NI members have developed a new service, called ‘In the Same Boat’, whereby they volunteer to provide support to those who have recently received a dementia diagnosis, allowing them to speak to someone who has experienced similar challenges and issues.

The Herbert Protocol

The Herbert Protocol enables people with dementia to go out and about in the knowledge that this form will help police find them more quickly should they become lost. It provides peace of mind for people with dementia and their relatives – it could even save someone’s life.

Dementia Inclusive Initiatives

Dementia NI deliver unique dementia inclusive events and activities in conjunction with various organisations. These initiatives enable members living with dementia to have fun and show others that they can live well with their diagnosis and that there is support available when it is needed

Dementia Jam card

The award-winning JAM Card (Just A Minute) allows people with dementia or other communication barriers to ask for just a minute of patience when they need it.
