Wicklow Dementia Support Company Limited by Guarantee

Wicklow Dementia Support CLG is a small charity run by volunteers. It was established in 2010 to provide support to people with dementia in Co Wicklow. Its mission is to enable people with dementia maintain their identity, interests and independence, living life to the fullest in their own home and community, while also meeting the needs of family carers for social engagement, information and respite. It does this through the provision of a number of services including a befriending service called AlzPal, where volunteers are recruited, vetted and trained to support a person with dementia to continue to engage in activities and/or hobbies they enjoy, once a week for two hours; a weekly social group providing an opportunity to engage in activities and have a chat; a weekly music session called Musical Memories; a once monthly Carers Support group and a Bereavement group.
