“It’s wonderful for Mum, and wonderful for us,” Julianne says. “She’s mischievous and fun – and she’s still our Mum, despite the dementia.”

Julianne's Mum, Gwen, was diagnosed with dementia mate wareware in 2020. After losing her husband, Gwen began to show signs that concerned her family. Finding the Sherwood Club was a turning point.

Your support is needed now.

Over 30,000 people living with dementia mate wareware are currently receiving no support to help them navigate this challenging diagnosis.

Your donation makes a difference.
