Dignitate is a cultural dementia charity devoted to addressing dementia through a culturally sensitive and inclusive approach.
Our work focuses on breaking down the barriers that often prevent marginalised communities from accessing the support they need.
After spending 11 years caring for my mother, who had vascular dementia, I felt compelled to start a charity to help others going through similar situations. Throughout my experience, I learned the ins and outs of being a caregiver and found that there were many challenges and difficulties that come with caring for a loved one with dementia. However, I also learned the importance of support, community, and resources in making the journey more manageable. Through my charity, I hope to provide a platform for caregivers to share their experiences, connect with others in similar situations, and learn from my own experiences. I want to let others know that they are not alone and that there are people who care and understand what they are going through.
Passionately dedicated to providing progressive and innovative support for individuals and families impacted by Dementia. Our caring courses and actions are led by experienced carers who intimately understand the challenges you face.
We are committed to fostering a warm and inclusive environment where we connect with the South Asian community and embrace the richness of diversity.
We provide valuable support through various channels. Join our weekly 1-to-1 calls with a dedicated carer, conducted online for your convenience. Please take advantage of our weekly online drop-in service, offering a safe space to seek guidance and connect with others.
Engage in our fortnightly peer-to-peer support calls, fostering a sense of community and shared experiences. Additionally, we offer regular workshops on Dementia topics and education, empowering you with knowledge and valuable insights.
We understand how hard it is navigating your way on the dementia journey. At Dignitate, we offer a range of courses to help equip you with tools, tips, and understanding of early signs of dementia (or 'Pagal'), multi-sensory stimulation for dementia, and anticipatory loss.
Our courses are designed by experts in the field, ensuring you receive the highest quality education and support to navigate this challenging path with confidence and compassion.
“We are lucky enough to Partner with the NHS Our Future Health. The UK’s largest health research programme to help improve healthcare for dementia patients.”
