Local Community Focus
Virtual visits
The virtual format is available nationally.
Families have visits with a group of
students either on Zoom or Microsoft
Teams. The virtual visits follow a similar
format to the in-person meetings. There
are five virtual visits over two years with
each session lasting for 90 minutes.

Carer Information and
Support Programme
Our Carer Information and Support
Programme (CrISP) provides support and
up-to-date, relevant information in a group
environment, where carers can share
experiences and find out about local and
national services that can offer support.
The programme is run in a series
of sessions which offers carers the
opportunity to share experiences in a
confidential and friendly environment with
others in a similar situation.
Our trained staff and volunteers run the
sessions to ensure carers get the most out
of the programme and can provide further
information and support.
The key benefits of the programme:
• Enabling carers to have increased knowledge of
dementia.
• Providing carers with practical information that
they can use in coping with living with dementia
day-to-day.
• Help carers to feel better informed and less
isolated.
• Empowering carers to access support services
and financial benefits and entitlements.
• Enabling carers to plan with and for the person
they care for, now and in the future.
