How your fundraising helps
Every dollar you raise will help empower people living with dementia.
Umbrella Dementia Cafés™ are a network of informal community peer support groups, called 'cafés', designed to improve the social health and well-being of people living in the community with dementia as well as their families and carers.
We believe the key to personal well-being is social connectedness and having a community support network around you. We are a community who understand you, accept you and include you. Our mission is to bring people hope, connection and a better quality of life.
Dance Against Dementia helps Umbrella Dementia Cafés™ establish more dementia ‘cafés’.
A special thanks to our sponsors
