Award-Winning Trusted Advice & Support For Dementia Carers
Dementia Help emerged in 2017 as a beacon of hope for those caring for loved ones with dementia. Founder Christina Collison endured the challenges of dementia care first-hand when her mother, Hazel, was diagnosed with vascular dementia in 2009. After her mum died in 2016, Christina was determined to help others in her shoes, and launched Dementia Help to provide practical advice and support for carers.
Dementia Help was voted the Most Trusted Dementia Support Platform 2024 – UK at the Global Health & Pharma’s Social Care Awards 2024 and was also the winner of the Corporate LiveWire 2024 Innovation & Excellence Awards in the Carers Support Organisation of the Year category.
