Dementia Adventure

Dementia Adventure is an award-winning charity supporting people with dementia to get outdoors and experience the benefits of nature. We think differently about dementia, focusing on the individual, not the condition, and looking at what people can do rather than what they can’t. We have proven that with the right support, anything is possible.

Dementia Adventure has been offering fully supported dementia holidays for well over a decade to people living with dementia and their carers. We understand the complex and individual needs of people living with dementia, as well as how carers can benefit from having the chance to relax and enjoy time with their loved one while someone else takes care of all the planning and background tasks. Whether looking for an alternative to respite in which everyone gets a rest, or an opportunity to have an adventure together, we will support people to have the break they deserve.
