Younger People with Dementia (YPWD)

Younger People with Dementia (YPWD) is a charity working to help all those affected by young onset dementia.

People with young onset dementia often experience a more rapid decline in cognition and quality of life at a time when they may otherwise have expected to be in employment, have an active social life or are raising a family. The same applies to partners and other family members who consequently face social isolation and carer stress.

The YPWD model encourages carer respite across the working week, giving all carers the chance to take a break.

You can access their services via self-referral, referral from family and friends, GP, memory clinics, care advisers, and social care professionals. For more information, please visit their Referral Pathway page.
