About us

The South Lakes Dementia Community is made up of a range of supportive organisations working together to radically improve the lives of people living with dementia and their family and carers.

Our aim is to create a Dementia Friendly Community within Kendal and the South Lakes area, to ensure people are more attentive and understanding to the needs of those affected by dementia.

To support the dementia community we organise a monthly dementia hub at The Abbots Hall Social Centre, deliver outreach dementia hubs and service provider information to the rural villages of Sedbergh, Dent, Ambleside, Grasmere, Hawkshead, Coniston, Windermere, Arnside, Milnthorpe and Kirkby Lonsdale and support Community Come Dancing sessions.
