Can you help more Experts by Experience to attend UKDC?
Dementia Community is an inclusive community and we heavily discount tickets for people living with dementia and unpaid/family carers, with those who are panellists and co-chairs given free places. However, travel and accommodation costs can be obstacles that prevent Experts by Experience participating in UK Dementia Congress.
If you know of any companies, organisations or individuals who would be willing to support a person with lived experience to attend UKDC, please contact:
