Caring for someone with early-stage dementia can be a lonely and demanding journey. It’s a challenge that many families face but what if there was a way to provide genuine support for both the person with dementia and their carer?
A recent report by Healthwatch West Sussex highlights the incredible impact of Tapestry Day Club. The report shows that the charity’s unique approach to dementia day support is making a real difference. Between January and May 2025, the club provided 1,307 guest sessions, leading to a remarkable 7,896 hours of carer respite.
The results are overwhelmingly positive. A massive 97% of those surveyed rated the service as ‘Excellent’. Guests enjoy reduced social isolation and improved mood, while carers benefit from much-needed respite, leading to reduced stress and burnout.
This fantastic feedback confirms that Tapestry Day Club provides a high-quality, trusted service. The charity runs dementia day clubs in support of families across West Sussex and large parts of Surrey and the community can get involved in several ways. They are always keen to hear from anyone who might like to volunteer or fundraise as the charity relies on public donations. Your support, whether as a host, a volunteer, or through a local fundraising activity, can help families get the support they need.
