Annual Report 2025 Dementia Hub Project 2024/5 ## Introduction Over the past year, CAD Brent has continued to demonstrate that the Hubs Team is not only essential but transformative for the dementia community in Brent. Our strong and evolving partnership with Brent Memory Services has ensured a steady stream of referrals, enabling us to provide timely, compassionate, and practical support to families navigating the complexities of dementia care. In May 2025, CAD Brent proudly celebrated its 10th anniversary with a vibrant community talent show. This milestone marks a decade of unwavering commitment to people living with dementia (PLWD) and their families. From a borough once devoid of community support, we have grown into a lifeline—delivering 18 dementia cafés across Brent, offering safe, welcoming spaces where isolation is replaced with connection, care, and joy. ## De-Café Network Our café network has expanded to 18 active dementia cafés (“de-cafs”) across Brent, each offering a rich tapestry of activities, workshops, and support. These cafés are the beating heart of our community outreach, bringing advice and wellbeing directly to those who need it most. Highlights include: - Two thriving Gujarati-speaking cafés, serving over 80 attendees weekly—breaking down language barriers and stigma associated with a diagnosis. Annual Report 2025 Annual Report 2025 ## Dementia Hub Project 2024/5 - New grants secured for regular exercise sessions at four cafés, carer training, and health workshops. - Current funding applications made and awaiting outcome for enrichment activities such as Art workshops. - Regular activities that bring together this community to share ideas resources and build a resourceful supportive community. ## Information, Advice and Guidance (IAG) The Hubs Team continues to be a trusted source of support post-diagnosis, helping families navigate a fragmented care system with empathy and expertise. Yearly Impact: - 335 new referrals - 459 unique clients supported - 2,314 episodes of advice delivered - £469,368.49 in additional income raised for clients Annual Report 2025 Annual Report 2025 ## Dementia Hub Project 2024/5 _We would not have made as much progress without CAD Brent. Navigating the various medical Services, councils, and the plethora of organisations that one has to deal with. We are far more aware of what we are entitled to, how various agencies should behave and what we should expect and/or should ask for. Their support and advice are immeasurable as well as the only real support there is for us. ….Family Carer_ ## Social Activities and Creative Health From Bollywood dancing to Tai Chi, our activities cater to diverse interests and needs. The launch of our community choir, Songs of Joy, has been a highlight—enhancing cognitive function and fostering belonging. ## Communication and Peer Support Our WhatsApp group (currently has 260 members) continues to be a vital tool for communication, peer support, and engagement. It enables real-time updates, surveys, and recruitment for events, while fostering a sense of community among carers and PLWD. “CAD are a shining light of support and kindness. They treat people with dignity and empathy—doing far more than other services in Brent.” Annual Report 2025 Annual Report 2025 ## Dementia Hub Project 2024/5 ## The Future The CAD Brent Team remain committed to growth, innovation, and co-production. We will continue to listen to our community, adapt to their needs, and deliver services that make a tangible difference in their lives.
