This club is specifically for people who have been diagnosed with mild to moderate Dementia, have been prescribed Memantine or similar, or who think they are starting to show signs of Dementia and want more information.
It’s a space to connect with people going through similar struggles where comradery can shine.

The symptoms of dementia differ from person to person, depending on the type of dementia and which parts of the brain it affects. Dementia is often associated with memory loss, but people with early/young onset dementia may not develop memory issues in the early stages. As a result, the signs of dementia may be missed or mistakenly attributed to other conditions.
Symptoms can include difficulty with:
- Personality and behaviour
- Speech and language
- Vision and movement
- Social functioning
- Relationships with others
- Involvement in daily activities
- Motivation and mood e.g. depression, anxiety
- Concentration levels
- Decision-making and problem-solving
