Dementia Support in Leicester Consultation 2025

Overview

To make sure that we’re providing the best support possible to people with dementia and their carers in Leicester, we’re reviewing our commissioned Dementia Support Service, currently provided by Age UK. 

The service is designed to support people with dementia (including those awaiting formal diagnosis) and their carers to navigate life with dementia, as well as actively promoting the principle of early dementia diagnosis.

 The Dementia Support Service provides a range of support options including: information and advice, personalised 1:1 support, informal carer learning, group support and partnership work.

Please note: If you would like to provide further feedback or be involved with coproducing the future Dementia Support Service model, do not hesitate to  contact us on the email in the contact information.

Why your views matter

Leicester City Council is committed to ensuring that people with dementia live an independent, healthy and fulfilled lives for as long as possible, and that people have equal access to information, advice and support. 

We would welcome feedback from both people who have used the current Dementia Support Service as well as those who have not, so that we can learn from people’s experiences, understanding the strengths and limitations of our current offer. The feedback from this consultation will be used to help shape any redesign of the service so that it best meets the needs of people within the city.
