Uniting Carers

 

Uniting Carers is an involvement network of family carers of people with dementia. The aim of the network is to give carers the opportunity to raise awareness and increase people's understanding of dementia. We now have over 1,000 members throughout the country who have joined our network - people who want to use their experience of caring for someone with dementia to make a difference.

Members can commit as little or as much time as they feel able.  Many carers find it both healing and empowering to share their experiences and work together so that others may benefit.

"I feel so angry about the stigma, the ignorance and how hard it was for us at the beginning and how helpless we felt.  Uniting Carers has supported us to focus, to feel useful again and to know how to share our story." - Geri and John Ravenhill
