The main benefits for people with dementia who visit the DMCs are that they show fewer depressive symptoms and they have a higher self-esteem than carees in regular daycare. Furthermore, admission to a care home is postponed.
Carers benefit from enjoying the carers-organisers relationship where carer needs, wants and views affecting them and their loved-ones have a clear influence on the nature and content of the caring and other aspects of what happens.

The page on Alan's website promotes UK Dementia Meeting Centres which are based on the success of 125 DMCs in Holland. It results from his strong belief in the continuity of the too-few UK DMCs and the creation of more.
Help create a DMC in your area
The project aims to recruit people with the time and energy to take up this innovation in a practical way by helping to create a DMC in their area as part of improving local dementia services. The project needs meetings people. If you have experience of initiating anything at all in your local community, even better. But that's not a condition. Enthusiasm for improving dementia services is the key requirement.
