Dementia Help and Support
Sight and Mind is a Community Interest Company (CIC) proudly embedded within the borough of Knowsley. With dementia increasingly prevalent in families across the borough, Sight and Mind was launched in 2018 to provide complimentary help and support to families caring for a loved one with Dementia and/or Sensory Impairment.

We are also passionate about educating and empowering individuals, families and organisations. Our training courses will give you a greater understanding of the barriers that individuals with Dementia and/or Sensory Impairment face along with practical solutions to help with everyday routines that also take into consideration the wellbeing of the carer and the cared for.

Feel the Fear and Do it Anyway!!
Our wonderful supporter, Andrea Nelson, successfully completed her fundraising tandem skyjump with GoSkyDive earlier this month and now that her feet are firmly back on the ground, we caught up with her to get the lowdown….
I would like to thank you for all your help and guidance throughout the difficult time our family were going through during my dad’s progression through dementia and his passing away. Also all the help you gave for my brother which resulted in him securing the tenancy for the home he has lived in all his life. He has also been awarded attendance allowance which we feel was helped by the guidance from yourself during the form filling process. Thanks for everything.
My family and I would like to thank Sight and Mind for their advice and support through our difficult time. From the moment we made contact, they were able to offer direction, guidance, and constant support until the passing of my mother from Dementia. They were so valuable in supporting not just me but the whole family. With this knowledge and experience we knew we couldn’t do anymore for the care of our mother. We would like to thank Sight and Mind and spread the word for other people who are going through such difficult times, that they are not alone with the guidance of this fantastic organisation. Thank you so much.
Since getting support from Sight and Mind, I have successfully received higher rate attendance allowance that I didn’t know I was entitled to. The extra money has made a massive difference to me because I no longer have to worry about putting the heating on. Sight and Mind have spoken with social services and other relevant departments and they are arranging for various adaptions and aids to maintain my independence at home and help me feel safer. I’m now waiting for my bath to be replaced with a shower as getting into the bath is a struggle and I’m worried about falling.
I can’t believe the difference Sight and Mind has made to me and my life and how much they have told me about everything that is available to me. I would recommend Sight and Mind to everybody.
