The Worthing Dementia Hub is now closed.

Our aim is to help you locate the right dementia support and services to improve your circumstances whether you have just been diagnosed with dementia or, you are caring for someone in your family who has the disease. We are currently experiencing an unprecendented demand for services and we are sorry it is taking us longer to reply.

There is online support from a number of charities including Alzheimer’s Dementia Connect and Dementia UK and we have more numbers on our information page.

The Worthing Area Dementia Forum first met in October 2013, as bi-monthly public meetings at venues such as Guild Care and the Worthing Alzheimer’s Society. Supported by these charities and Carers Support West Sussex and Coastal West Sussex Mind, our aim was to establish a dementia friendly community in the Worthing area.

Our vision is to create an inclusive dementia friendly community where people living with dementia, and their family carers, are active participants within the community. A place where people with dementia can remain independent and have choice and control over their lives within a safe and rewarding supportive environment.

Worthing’s dementia-friendly community, with its many dementia friends of all ages, and from all walks of life, are already having a positive impact.
