## Summary

Dementia Carers Together is raising money for six-week courses to support people caring for someone with dementia. Run by Alzheimer’s Society and Alzheimer Scotland, with support from the Daily Mail and Mail Force, the programme aims to address carers’ loneliness, exhaustion and difficulty finding help.

There are 2.5 million people in the UK providing some form of dementia care; four in five unpaid carers have reached crisis point at least once, and seven in ten say their health has suffered. Courses across the UK will offer practical guidance, information on medical and financial support, and help with emotional resilience. The appeal aims to fund at least 864 sessions for 144 groups each year, with a £1 million target for one year and pilot courses starting once donations pass £100,000.
