Here for every step of the dementia journey

We are Kent & Medway's award-winning dementia charity, proudly celebrating 35 years of supporting local people. Since 1991, we've stood beside thousands of families, providing expert care, practical guidance and compassionate support from the earliest concerns through every stage of dementia. Today, we're as committed as ever to ensuring nobody has to face dementia alone.

Celebrating 35 years!

This year marks an incredible milestone for ADSS - and we want you to be part of it.

For 35 years, we've been helping people find hope after diagnosis, supporting carers through life's toughest moments, and enabling people living with dementia to continue living lives filled with purpose, dignity and connection.

As we celebrate our 35th birthday, we're inviting our community to help shape the next chapter through our What's Your 35? campaign. Whether you take on a challenge, fundraise with friends or support someone else, every act of kindness will help ensure more local people receive the care and support they deserve.

One challenge won't change the world. But it could change someone's world.
