"You feel you're not on your own…"

We’re so grateful to Allan for sharing his experience with Other Halves:

"My wife and I have been going to Other Halves for nearly two years now. My wife has Alzheimer’s. It was a chance meeting with a retired colleague who told us about OH – and I’m so glad he did. From the first time we attended at Hudson Café in Danbury, we were welcomed with open arms by Jackie and Margaret, and we’ve been going ever since."

"The people are so friendly, the outings are brilliant (fish and chips once a month is always a treat!) – but what really matters is the comfort of talking to people who truly understand what it's like to care for a partner with this disease. Other Halves is a great little charity, and we feel lucky to be part of it." – Allan

Who Is Other Halves For?

Other Halves supports people who are caring for a partner or loved one living with dementia. We know how lonely, exhausting and overwhelming that journey can feel and how important it is to talk to others who understand without explanation.

Our members are carers at all stages of the dementia journey. Whether you’re newly navigating a diagnosis or have been caring for many years, you’ll find compassion, empathy and friendship here.

If you’re unsure whether Other Halves is right for you, we’re always happy to have a chat. There’s no pressure, just support when you need it.

💜 Sometimes the most powerful thing you can hear is... "Me too." 💜

When you're caring for someone living with dementia, it can feel like the world carries on around you while your own life becomes smaller.

🔹The appointments.
🔹The worry.
🔹The sleepless nights.
🔹The decisions no one prepares you for.

And yet, every day, carers quietly keep going.

That is why Other Halves exists.

Founded by carers, for carers, Other Halves brings together people who truly understand the challenges, emotions and realities of supporting a loved one with dementia. Since 2016, we have been creating opportunities for carers across Mid-Essex to connect, share experiences, laugh together and remind each other that they are more than "just a carer."

Through coffee mornings, lunches, walks, activities and simple conversations, friendships are formed, confidence is rebuilt and support is always within reach.

Because nobody should have to face dementia alone.

If you're caring for a partner, parent, family member or friend, come and join us. You don't need to explain everything. You don't need to have all the answers.

You just need to know that there are people who understand.

💜 Together, we are stronger.
💜 Together, we can find moments of joy.
💜 Together, we can get through difficult times.
