“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"

Resources for carers from past tide projects
As we move into the next phase of the “Shared Care” initiative, we are proud to announce the official launch of the Making Shared Care a Reality – Resource for Care Home Staff.
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”.
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.
Our fortnightly coffee morning 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.

Each month we hold meet ups to enable specific groups of carers to meet up virtually and discuss topics related to their experiences as carers.
Caring for someone with young onset dementia has a lot of issues unique to this diagnosis. This can often lead to finding carers groups aren’t suitable or lacking the support of someone with similar experiences and feelings. This leads of people feeling isolated and alone in their experience. It is important for carers of people with young onset to have access to information and advice that is specific to them. This group allows you to connect with others who do share this experience and understand the unique challenges in caring for someone with young onset dementia.
WHEN? The fourth Monday of the month at 7PM – 8PM.
