Winner: Alive’s Dementia Meeting Centre
Crowned for their “unwavering commitment”, we couldn’t be more proud of our Dementia Meeting Centre team for picking up this award. Providing people living with dementia “lifelines” of support, friendship and activity, it’s brilliant to see our important work in Bristol and North Somerset recognised nationally.

The Dementia Care Team Award
Highly Commended: Alive and BRI Hospital Garden Sanctuary Square
Receiving glowing feedback, our second accolade went to our joint venture with the Dementia, Delirium and Falls team at Bristol & Weston Hospital’s Charity. Since 2023, our Sanctuary Square courtyard garden at Bristol Royal Infirmary has provided patients and their loved ones access to dementia-friendly gardening and green crafts
Amanda Groves, Head of Fundraising, is not just a force of nature – her dedication to this cause is deeply personal. Paired with Head Gardener Abi’s tenacity and drive, they form and incredible duo, creating a powerful force for positive change. This visionary approach truly represents the future of dementia care.
