Dementia Diaries

Dementia Diaries is a UK-wide project that brings together people’s diverse experiences of living with dementia as a series of audio diaries. 

It serves as a public record and a personal archive that documents the views, reflections, and day-to-day lives of people living with dementia, with the aim of promoting dialogue and changing attitudes. It is aimed at enhancing the quality of life for individuals with dementia through sharing their personal accounts with the public.
