Carers often take on so much behind the scenes, supporting loved ones while putting their own needs last.

Our Carers Cuppa Socials are a chance to take a break, meet other carers who understand, and share a cuppa and a chat in a friendly, relaxed environment.

Why not pop along tomorrow at Kingsweston Bistro from 2.00pm–3.30pm? We'd love to see you there.

Understanding dementia can help those supporting people living with it, as well as helping them understand their own experiences and emotions.

Our FREE Understanding Dementia Workshop, taking place on 26th June, is designed to provide practical information about dementia, how it affects the brain, and ways to support someone living with the condition.

Whether you are a family member or friend, this workshop will help you gain confidence, knowledge, and a better understanding of dementia.

Did you know you can make a lasting difference by setting up a monthly donation to BDAA?

Every day, people affected by dementia turn to us for support, information, friendship and understanding. As a charity, we rely on the generosity and kindness of our supporters to continue providing these vital services.

A regular monthly donation, no matter the amount, helps us plan for the future and ensures we can continue to be there for individuals and families when they need us most.

Will you help us continue this important work by making a monthly pledge?

Thank you to the incredible individuals who give up their valuable time, day after day, to make a difference in the lives of others.

At Bristol Dementia Action Alliance, we are constantly inspired by the dedication of our volunteers. They help run events, support our Happy Days Cafés, share information, welcome new faces and bring warmth and kindness to everyone they meet.

Volunteers don't just give their time, they give hope, confidence, connection and joy.

Today, and every day, we celebrate and thank every volunteer for the difference they make. We simply couldn't do it without you. 💜

We have introduced the Start Today Exercise Programme (STEP) from Sirona care & health into our Happy Days Cafés.

These six simple seated exercises are designed to help improve strength, flexibility and confidence, all of which play an important role in reducing the risk of falls.

As we get older, our risk of falling increases. In fact, around one in three people over 65 and half of people over 80 experience a fall each year. Regular movement can help maintain strength, balance and independence, while also boosting confidence.

The STEP programme takes just a few minutes a day and can be done from the comfort of a chair, making it accessible for people of all abilities. We're delighted to be sharing these exercises at our cafés and supporting people affected by dementia to stay active, safe and independent.

For more information and to access the exercises, visit:

Barbara sadly passed away four years ago, but through this award, her legacy lives on.
