The Dementia Befriending Service supports people to live independently and safely at home for as long as possible, stay socially engaged and carry on doing what they love. The service supports Camden residents over the age of 55 in the early or moderate stages of dementia. We match people with a volunteer befriender who will visit on a regular weekly basis.
