About

Clevearc came about as the result of the determination and initiative of local carers of people with dementia. They conducted a survey, which confirmed their vision of a special facility to care for people with dementia so that

• Services were easily accessible and centralised
• There would be a wider range of services in one location, to reduce confusion for the person with dementia and their carer
• To enable relationships to be built up with staff
• A body of knowledge could be gathered helping to understand the behavioural characteristics of dementia
• Creation of dementia friendly communities where the person with dementia could move about independently within a safe environment
• There would be no stigma attached to dementia

Recently the charity has gone through a major restructure to realign its objectives to be more community driven.

• To relieve, treat and promote the relief and treatment of those affected by Alzheimers disease and other related dementias.
• To provide support both for such persons and their family and friends.
• To promote, support and carry out research and to disseminate the results of such research for the public benefit into the cause and possible cures whether partial or complete, and the possible prevention of Alzheimers disease and other related dementias.
