Tide (Together in Dementia Everyday) is a UK-wide charity for carers & former carers of people living with dementia.
Tide connects, mobilises & supports carers of people with dementia to recognise their own value & contribution to society. Carers tell us that their voices are often not heard & their own needs go unrecognised. We build skills, knowledge & confidence so that carers can speak up & influence change in society.
Resources
Tide’s resources page for unpaid carers of people with dementia. These materials are the outcome of our work from recent years and have been co-produced with current and former carers. All the materials are free and designed to help you at various stages of your caring journey from managing feelings of grief to moving a loved one into residential care.

This event helps you understand how Life Story Work can help people with dementia stay connected with family, friends and communities. Life Story Work is the process of stimulating and capturing people’s stories about what matters to them – in the past, present and the future. We share the importance of Life Story Work as an ongoing process and not just a document. We’ll talk about everyday personal use and sharing with professionals.
