Supporting Families through Dementia
Welcome to Next Steps Together
We are a collective of professionals, volunteers, caregivers, and individuals living with dementia, all working together towards a common goal. Our mission is to help you navigate the challenges and celebrate the moments of joy in dementia care within a supportive and understanding community.
Next Steps Together is a Community Interest Company (CIC), dedicated to enriching the lives of families affected by dementia, particularly in rural and isolated areas. As a social enterprise, we prioritise purpose over profit, focusing on delivering impactful community services and initiatives.
Our philosophy is rooted in four core values – empowerment, education, engagement, and enrichment. We believe that everyone affected by dementia deserves access to social, educational, and wellbeing support to nurture and enrich their lives.
Our Core Values
Enrichment: Delivering creative, social and physical activity programmes in the community, like art therapy, interactive sensory sessions, memory cafés, and exercise classes.
Engagement: Connecting communities through meaningful, intergenerational activities to develop strong and supportive advocacy networks across the South Hams.
Empowerment: Providing therapies, tools and resources to foster self-care, independence, confidence and resilience.
Education: Offering workshops, support groups and online resources to deepen understanding of dementia, palliative care, and grief within our community.
Our vision is to co-create an inclusive, a dementia-friendly community across the South Hams that provides not just care, but a sense of dignity and belonging.
Our Services
NeST offers one to one support, group support, and a range of wellbeing therapies tailored to support families living with dementia.
