It began with a lift
John and Helen started helping local people reach appointments, then raised money for a wheelchair-accessible vehicle.
Free transport. No means test. No red tape.Growing community by community across the UK.
✿ Built from lived experience
A small act became a people-powered movement.
After caring for their father as dementia progressed, brother-and-sister founders John and Helen knew families often need practical local help—not another leaflet.
Dementia Drive
How Dementia Drive is different
Powered by the public
Forget-me-not keyrings, badges, volunteers and community partners turn small acts into visible local services.
Independent by design
Dementia Drive is a social enterprise built to move quickly, remain transparent and keep practical impact at the centre.
People need people—and nobody facing dementia should feel they are doing it alone.
People-powered support
Talk to Dementia Drive →Every journey begins with one conversation.
Ask for help, volunteer locally or share the mission with somebody who needs it.
