“Caring is a bit like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, the pieces symbolize the challenges that carers face on a daily basis, some larger and awkward, while others are corner pieces that fit perfectly. tide is the physical building together of the jigsaw, interlocking all the disconnected pieces, when assembled produce a complete picture"

In early July 2025, tide made a significant impact at UCL‑East Stratford during the SPIN‑D Festival of Science & Arts—“Let’s Talk Dementia: Fiction, Fact and Hope” As part of the "Getting Real About Co‑Production" workshop, TIDE representatives delivered compelling sessions titled “Involving carers in research” and “Shared Care”.
Making Shared Care a Reality is a powerful report by Together in Dementia Everyday (tide) that highlights the critical importance of continued carer involvement after a person with dementia enters a care home.

Join us on Wednesday mornings for a relaxed chat with other members of tide. Our coffee morning groups friendly, informal and attended by current carers, carers of those who are in residential care and former carers so are open to all.
Chat and change is a chance for you to meet and talk with other carers. Share your experiences and ease your concerns in a pressure-free supportive environment of other people who know what you are going through. The best way to start a positive change is to voice your thoughts & opinions. So come, listen and let's make a better future for carers together.
We use zoom for this and can help you get set up and started if this is new to you.
