Dementia Matters in Powys Creating Communities where Dementia Matters

In It Together

"We want to create a dementia friendly county that fully supports the health, well-being and quality of life of people living with dementia or at evident risk of dementia, and those who care for them"

Who We Are

Dementia Matters in Powys is an independent charitable organisation that works in partnership with communities, third-sector and statutory organisations to develop and share innovative practice, supporting people living with dementia and those who care for them.

Promoting Independence, Choice and Control

"Please don't stop me doing what I love. It makes me who I am".

Being Supportive and Inclusive

"We're all in this together and together we can make a difference"

Partnership Working

"Building our organisation with people living with dementia as a valued strategic partner in Powys".

Digital Connections

"Supporting people to connect to online networks, groups, family, friends and services".

“Everything that is done in the world is done by hope”
