Alive is a charity dedicated to improving the quality of life of older people and their carers.
WWLW
The idea is simple – residents of a Care Home write down a wish they would like granted, on one of our wish forms and we then display these wishes in local community centres, supermarkets, volunteer hubs and online, which are then granted by members of the community.
Meeting Centres
The Alive Dementia Meeting Centres offer support for people with a recent diagnosis of a dementia, and people living with a mild to moderate dementia and their carers.
We offer practical help and social and emotional support.
Alive On Demand
Need some inspiration for new activities? Looking to engage and educate your residents? Alive On Demand is here! Join us for a demonstration on the benefits of using Alive On Demand and how it can assist with your day-to-day activities.
Resource Library
Alive has a great selection of activity and learning resources in the online resource library.
Browse pamphlets on best practice, community engagement and volunteering. Get your hands on our wonderful conversation cards to support you, as a relative, friend or carer, to build social connections and conversation.
