📈Dementia in Numbers 📈 - 56% of people with dementia experience social isolation

56% of people with dementia experience social isolation, 58% report feeling lonely, 56% lose touch with friends, and 70% stop activities they used to enjoy

People living with dementia experience isolation, stigma, and widespread and distinct health inequalities. The OHE identifies 82 distinct health and social care inequalities specifically impacting people living with dementia.

West Berkshire Dementia Hub will be a place where people with dementia can benefit from the integrated support and services they need to live well with dementia. A place where friends and family can come, support and make it a hub full of heart, community and belonging.

💜 Delivering Transformation 💜

Our vision for West Berkshire Dementia Hub reached beyond providing transformational dementia support in north Hampshire and West Berkshire.

West Berkshire is well located to participate in dementia research, and a link has already been established with Reading University. Our aim is to encourage participation in research as a positive choice that empowers people living with dementia to play a role in changing the future of dementia care.

With hope the support we provide can become preventative as well as reactive - changing lives for the better.

💙 Dementia Stories 💚 

When it comes to dementia, the first thing we often think about is the memory loss. No one tells you about the changing moods. 

Here, Paul and Prue discuss this candidly along with the appreciation of their friends’ patience. West Berkshire Dementia Hub will be a place where people with dementia can benefit from the integrated support and services they need to live well with dementia. A place where friends and family can come, support and make it a hub full of heart, community and belonging.

💜 Delivering Transformation 💜

Our business plan is based on a sustainable, diversified funding model with robust risk mitigation and reserves policy. Third party providers will pay a serviced rent for the use of space and the café will be self-funding. It is anticipated that around £300,000 per annum will have to be raised to cover remaining operational costs.

West Berkshire Dementia Hub will be a place where people with dementia can benefit from the integrated support and services they need to live well with dementia. A place where friends and family can come, support and make it a hub full of heart, community and belonging.

📈Dementia in Numbers 📈 £48 million for dementia research

You may have missed the big news - last week, Prime Minister, Andy Burnham announced a commitment of £48 million for dementia research which will accelerate development for new treatments and shines a much needed spotlight on how we discuss, diagnose, treat and support dementia in the UK.

We applaud this commitment and the impact it could have if delivered on. However, these commitments take time to deliver, and we look forward to see this commitment set out with more specifics.

In the meantime, Can you help us transform dementia care in West Berkshire and north Hampshire?

📈 Dementia in Numbers 📈 - The recorded rate for dementia diagnosis in people aged over 65 is 66.2%.

This doesn’t tell the whole story. About 33.8% of people estimated to have dementia in that age group do not have a formal diagnosis.

West Berkshire Dementia Hub’s vision is to meet this challenge by providing an enhanced level of support for individuals living with dementia and their family carers, changing the way we look at dementia by helping to reduce the fear and stigma that surrounds diagnosis and offering positivity and hope instead of abandonment and despair.

But… we need your help!
