Cherish Dementia Holidays

Cherish Dementia Holidays (Cherish Dementia Holidays CIO) is a registered, volunteer-led charity that provides tailored, affordable supported holidays, day trips, and lunch clubs for people living with dementia and their dedicated carers (typically spouses, partners, or adult children). Founded by an occupational therapist, the charity coordinates structured, fully risk-assessed group holidays—typically 4 nights and 5 days—using accessible coaches and carefully vetted hotels. By handling all logistics, excursions, and itinerary details, Cherish delivers a supportive environment where carers get a true break from daily chores and have space to connect with other carers. Meanwhile, couples are supported to enjoy high-quality, stress-free time together as partners rather than purely as patient and caregiver. Note on Care Needs: To ensure safety and comfort, participating couples must be self-caring, as the charity's volunteers provide companionship and organizational support but cannot provide direct professional personal care.
