Welcome to Dementia Friendly Worthing

Due to the end of our lottery funding we have made the decision not to renew the lease at the Worthing Dementia Hub in South Farm Road. We are moving our hub and services to Beehive Care in Ferring. South Farm Road will close permanently on Thursday 4 April and aim to re-open on 1 May at Beehive.

We remain dedicated to supporting people living with dementia, their families and carers; providing advice, and guidance on local services, social events and activities. Read more.

About Dementia Friendly Worthing

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.
