Charity Offers Lifeline for Dementia Patients and Caregivers
17 Nov
Summary
- Charity supports people living with dementia and their carers
- Co-founder Sue Atherton started the group after husband's Alzheimer's diagnosis
- Café Hope is a virtual space for people to connect and make positive change
In November 2025, the Hardy Group, a charity co-founded by Sue Atherton, continues to offer crucial support for people living with dementia and their caregivers. When Sue's husband Geoff was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease several years ago, the couple decided to start a support group for younger individuals facing the same challenges.
This initiative has since evolved into the Hardy Group, a thriving organization that helps dementia patients and their loved ones navigate the complexities of the condition. At the heart of the charity's efforts is Café Hope, a virtual "Radio 4 coffee shop" where guests can pop in for a chat, share their stories, and collaborate on plans to make positive changes in their communities and beyond.
