Our story
Built by people, for people.
Dementia Drive began with brother-and-sister team John and Helen selling forget-me-not keyrings and pin badges in their local community. That simple idea helped put the first vehicles on the road.
We’re a social enterprise—not a traditional charity. We take no government funding, employ no paid fundraising teams and believe every community should see the impact of the support it gives.
- Independent by design — we answer to the public.
- Practical over polished — services before fancy offices.
- Protected for the future — our Permanent Charter keeps the mission on course.
Help the movement grow
Choose the kind of difference you want to make.
There’s no pressure and no one “right” way to help. Every share, hour, keyring and donation moves us forward.
Give your time
Drive, organise an event, support a passenger, help online or bring your own skills.
