Donations – Dementia Care Experience & Workshops

DONATIONS

Welcome to Dementia Care Experience and Workshops (DECEW) donations page. We hope that you will support the work we do by making a small donation to the organisation.

DECEW aim to create more awareness of dementia in our communities specifically those of the “ethnically diverse” people, formerly Black and Minority Ethnic (BAME) groups. We also collaborate with all organisations and communities working towards a better understanding of dementia in society. We welcome your support and donations in organising various events and workshops. Please use the Pay Now link on this page for all your donations to support our work. For a full listing of upcoming events and how to register to attend, please go to Events/Activities via the Services tab.

DEMENTIA CARE IN A VIRTUAL WORLD

Covid-19 changed the way we live, work and socialise. This is more difficult for people living with dementia and those who care for them. Despite returning to normality of home visits to care homes, private residences, and day centres, our organisation continues to conduct virtual home visits to connect and support people living with dementia, their carers and family members. To join us on any of our visits, contact us via events@decew.co.uk. You can also support our work by making a small donation to the organisation through events@decew.co.uk or click on the Pay Now tab on this page. We appreciate your support.

YOUR DONATION SUPPORTS OUR WORK IN CREATING MORE AWARENESS OF DEMENTIA

You can help us organise events and support our projects by donating using the PayPal account of Dementia Care Experience and Workshops (CIC), events@decew.co.uk or through the Pay Pal link.

Thank you and we look forward to seeing you at our events.

CHANGE UPDATE

We understand that people are still concerned about COVID-19 and what it entails for persons with dementia, as we know that those with the diagnosis can become isolated and lonely. As a result, we have expanded our efforts to ensure that people are not isolated, and we will continue to work with other organisations, agencies, and care providers to give assistance as needed. Caring for a loved one with dementia requires constant support.

All updates are made in accordance with government regulations.

Feedback

I feel organisations such as yours will greatly improve societal understanding of dementia especially in the BAME communities. Thank you for your work.
– Akim (Northern Ireland)

I have to say, looking back to the struggles we went through taking care of my late grandmother, organisations such as yours would have put it into perspective what it is like to care for someone you love who lived with dementia but the family were not aware of this at the time. May God bless your efforts and your vision.
– Jasmine (SW London)

I cannot express highly enough how glad I am to see what you and your organisation is trying to do. Africa and particularly the West would benefit from organisation such as yours and I truly believe that so many families and even other dementia care originations and service providers will benefit immensely from the vision you are putting out. The British are lucky. I must say, well done and please do keep up the good work and I hope one day this vision will also happen in Africa.

– Bimbola (Ogun State, Nigeria)

Congratulation to you and your team on a wonderful vision. Well done.

– Big Joe (South London, UK)

This is wonderful. May God guide your work.

I have to say, your workshops on caring for carers has been an eye-opener. Caring for my wife who has dementia has been a big challenge, not just for me but for my entire family. What I have learnt from your workshops, has already made a positive impact on my health. I now know when to stop and take a break and I also now know how to deal with her behaviours which can be challenging some times. So thank you so much and keep up the good work.

– Mr P Mohamed (Ealing, UK)

I cannot speak highly enough of your organisation and the work you are doing so far. Your workshops on stress reduction techniques have been remarkable. I can now control my stress levels and I have learnt to be in control of my emotions as I care for my mum who has Alzheimer’s.

– Ms Janet (Hounslow, UK)

A huge thank you to dementia care experience and workshops, and the founders for this wonderful initiative and for having this vision to promote the awareness of dementia especially in our community, the black and minority ethnic group.

– Alhaj Dinpa (London)

I believe dementia care experience and workshops is such a great addition to the drive to educate our people about dementia. I have heard about dementia in the past but I was not very clear about the disease and have so little to say about it. However, through your organisation, and what I have read and seen about your aim of launching dementia care experience and workshops, I am beginning to understand more about this illness that some of our people do not often want to talk about.
