Dementia Diaries brings together the many different experiences of living with dementia.
Diarists want to change the way people think about dementia, and about people with dementia.
We hope that the diaries inspire and inform people affected by dementia, and their wider communities and organisations.
Diaries can be used publicly in awareness raising and by researchers looking for insight into the lived experience of dementia.
How does the project work?
Diarists record diaries in a number of ways.
Some record their diaries over the 'phone.
Others send in audio or video they have recorded themselves.
Our team of volunteers then transcribe the diaries, so they can be read as well.
We then publish the diaries here.
