Pathways Through Dementia

Founded in 2012 by Sara Wilcox and registered as a charity in 2013, Pathways Through Dementia provides free, accurate legal and financial information to support people living with dementia through a range of services including helpline support, workshops and seminars. It is dedicated to helping people unravel the legalities of the dementia journey such as paying for care, managing finances and welfare benefits. Sara wanted to do something to help people living with dementia, especially working carers, and began providing talks to local groups. She has been proud to act as a legal expert at the Government’s Dementia Challenge Conference. She talked about the Mental Capacity Act and the need for more legal and financial information to be available to carers, as 55% of dementia carers feel that they are not given enough information on legal and financial issues when dementia is first diagnosed*. Our charity is working hard to change this. As the aging population in the UK grows, we will sadly see more people impacted by dementia. Please help us to continue our great work. Pathways Through Dementia currently receives no Government funding. All donations are gratefully received!
