Alzheimer’s and Dementia Support Services are Kent’s biggest independent charity, and an award-winning charity – Kent Charity of the Year 2024, who are dedicated to providing support to people affected by dementia.  We have been working within the Dartford, Gravesham, and Swanley since 1991.

We have a local reputation for providing excellence in dementia support and care which is testament to the hard work and dedication of our Board of Trustees, management, staff and volunteers.  The charity was previously registered under charity number 1024385, prior to incorporation in 2017.

We are the local specialist dementia service and we empower people affected by dementia to carry on their chosen lifestyle. We equip people with the knowledge and practical support to live with dementia.

People affected by dementia are at the heart of everything we do and are encouraged to be involved with our services, at all levels, enabling us to offer unique and bespoke support.
