Our last AGM took place on 22 October 2025. We were pleased to thank our continuing committee members for their support and guidance over the last 12 months.
💚 This winter, make space for the moments that matter.
The festive season can be a lovely time of year, but it can also feel busy and overwhelming.
A Dementia Adventure winter holiday offers the chance to step away from everyday routines, enjoy a change of scenery and spend precious time together – with experienced support to help you relax and make the most of your break.
Whether it’s enjoying a winter walk, discovering somewhere new, sharing a meal or simply having time to unwind, sometimes it’s the little moments that mean the most. ✨
🎄 Our upcoming winter holidays:
❄️ Norfolk | 30 November-4 December 2026
🌊 Isle of Wight | 7-11 December 2026
✨ A special October offer: the carer goes half price when you book a winter holiday this month!
