    DEMENTIA ACTIVE

    Dementia Active is a charity with an established track record in providing social activity groups for people who have a diagnosis of dementia. Dementia is an illness which can isolate people from former friends. The value of spending time with others who can share this sense of isolation cannot be overestimated.
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently

    Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

    • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

    Financial issues to consider:

    • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
