About

Culture Dementia UK was founded in February 1998. Culture Dementia UK was previously known as Friends of African/Caribbean Carers and Sufferers of Dementia (FACCSD)

We became a National charity in the same year. We were set up to support carers and sufferers of dementia among the African/Caribbean community.We identified the need for such an organisation. After researching we found that there are no other groups in the country that caters specifically for the African/Caribbean Community.

Dementia especially caused by Alzheimer's Disease is a very sensitive subject among the African/Caribbean community. Mental health illnesses are not openly discussed therefore they are not accessing the care and support available to alleviate the pain and distress the disease causes. Many are unaware of Alzheimer's Disease, the symptoms or how to care for sufferers.
