Former Carers Group
Carers tell us that when the person they have been looking after dies, everything stops, leaving the former carer feeling isolated and alone, on top of their grief. Tide welcomes former carers and recognises the importance of peer support in helping them sort out their emotions. Our friendly online group is facilitated by Mary, a former carer herself.

TIDE (Together in Dementia Everyday)
Imagine a collective of unpaid carers of people with dementia with the advocacy skills, knowledge and passion for making positive change for everyone impacted by dementia. Thanks to the work of tide, you don’t have to imagine. Tide works side by side with carers to ensure that their voices are heard. The foundations of tide were born out of the daily struggle that a group of women experienced in looking after family members with dementia. They decided that they did not want their experiences to become a reality for future carers. Out of this powerful commitment, tide the charity was born. Here at tide, we walk alongside carers. Every step of the way. All that we do is grounded in the experience of the thousands of carers we have worked with over the years. We are continually inspired by the courageous people who come forward to add their voice to a growing movement. We see their confidence grow and lives change as carers realise the powerful impact of their voices. This is what motivates us. This is what keeps us moving forward. Whether you are a current or former carer of someone with dementia, or a professional working with carers, tide is here for you. Join us and let's make the world a better place for everyone living with dementia in the UK.
