A charity is providing essential support to unpaid carers who look after people with dementia.
Age Concern Hampshire said the number of people living with dementia is rising as the UK's population grows older, increasing the number of unpaid family carers.
The charity says there are currently more than 700,000 primary unpaid carers for people with dementia.
To address this need, Age Concern Hampshire offers services through its Care and Wellbeing Centres, providing affordable daycare for those with dementia.
These centres offer respite for carers, enabling them to rest whilst ensuring their loved ones receive quality care.
Hannah Park, head of operations at Age Concern Hampshire, said: "With the rising number of people living with dementia, it’s essential to provide support that lightens the load for unpaid carers.
"Our Care and Wellbeing Centres are designed to offer both relief and high-quality care, ensuring carers get the help they need."
