This year we will be raising money for Dementia UK

About Us
We are Dementia UK — the specialist dementia nursing charity that is there for the whole family.
We know that when someone develops dementia (which includes Alzheimer’s disease) it doesn’t just impact the person with the diagnosis –
everyone around them is also affected in some way. That’s why we’re here.
Our specialist nurses, known as Admiral Nurses, provide free advice, support and understanding to help families care for their loved one. As experts in the condition, their tailored, life-changing support helps families through the fear and confusion of dementia. From sharing practical tips for caring, to offering compassionate emotional support and helping plan for the future, they are there when people impacted by the condition need them most.
Every day, Admiral Nurses help families up and down the country to have the best life possible for as long as possible. Whether it’s on our Helpline,
through our virtual or face-to-face clinics or in the community, our nurses give families affected by dementia the much-needed space to talk to
someone who understands. It’s why so many people describe Admiral Nurses as a lifeline.
We are working hard to grow the number of Admiral Nurses across the UK so every family affected by dementia can access their support –
whenever they need it.  Together, we can ensure that no one has to face dementia alone.


Why Admiral Nursing?
Admiral Nurses were named by the family of Joseph Levy CBE BEM, who founded the charity. Joseph had vascular dementia and was known affectionately as “Admiral Joe” because of his love of sailing.

 
What we do
Our specialist nurses, known as Admiral Nurses, provide free, expert advice, support and understanding to help families care for their loved one.  
When someone has dementia, it is vital that their family and friends can access specialist advice, support and understanding to help them help
their loved one.  But for thousands of families, living with dementia can mean fear and confusion, not only for the person with dementia, but also for the
people caring for  them and their wider family and friends. Every day and every moment can throw up new and complex challenges; trying to support
someone with dementia can be exhausting and overwhelming. It is easy for family carers to become isolated as they put their own lives on hold to
take on a role that can push them to breaking point.
But there is a lifeline. Dementia UK is the specialist dementia nursing charity that is there for the whole family, working towards a day where no
one has to face dementia alone. Our specialist nurses, known as Admiral Nurses, provide life-changing advice and support, to anyone
affected by dementia, whenever it is needed.
Dementia is a complex condition, unique to every individual and their family. Our Admiral Nurses understand this: they provide tailored, practical support to thousands of families every year, offering them reassurance, understanding and a listening ear that helps them feel more in control. With the support of an Admiral Nurse and Dementia UK – whether it’s on our Helpline, through our clinic service, or in the community – families we support know they are not alone.
