Established on 20 August 2015, the Hythe Dementia Forum was formed when Hythe Town Council agreed that our town would actively support people living with dementia and their carers.

Our aim then, and now, is to provide much-needed support and to encourage local businesses and the wider Hythe community to become Dementia Aware.

In its early days, the Forum met every few months to gather medical knowledge and guidance from organisations involved in dementia care. Today, we are supported by a dedicated team of amazing volunteers who generously give their time to help us run regular, free social activities throughout the year. These activities are designed to support those living with dementia and their carers, helping to combat loneliness and reassuring them that they are not alone.

The Forum meets at the Hythe Town Council Offices, on a Thursday between 10 - 11.30am, where our members living with dementia, and their carers receive updates, meet our volunteers and friends, take part in general discussions and hear from various community services. If you would like to join us, please do get in touch here.

Meeting Dates in 2026: 26 February, 23 April, 25 June, 22 October

No meetings are held in August and December
