North East Forum on Ageing

DEEP is a network of groups of people with dementia all across the UK.

DEEP brings the network of individual groups together to share experiences, learn from and to support each other.

Some groups are formed for support and friendship in the beginning. Many groups go on to become involved in campaigning and awareness raising about dementia. They all matter and they all aim to enable people to have a voice about what matters to them

You can also download lots of resources on a range of topics. These resources have been created or co-created by members of the DEEP Network.
