“Caring is a bit like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, the pieces symbolize the challenges that carers face on a daily basis, some larger and awkward, while others are corner pieces that fit perfectly. tide is the physical building together of the jigsaw, interlocking all the disconnected pieces, when assembled produce a complete picture"

Resources for carers from past tide projects
As we move into the next phase of the “Shared Care” initiative, we are proud to announce the official launch of the Making Shared Care a Reality – Resource for Care Home Staff.
In early July 2025, tide made a significant impact at UCL‑East Stratford during the SPIN‑D Festival of Science & Arts—“Let’s Talk Dementia: Fiction, Fact and Hope” As part of the "Getting Real About Co‑Production" workshop, TIDE representatives delivered compelling sessions titled “Involving carers in research” and “Shared Care”.
Are you a former carer? Come join our group of friendly former carers for our online peer support group
Peer-to-peer support is so important, it often feels like no one else really understands what you are going through as a carer. This group gives you the chance to meet with other carers who share similar experiences with you.
When the caring comes to an end, you may feel a bit lost and unsure what to do. As well as informing each other with friendly advice, the group offers an opportunity to share your experiences with others who have gone through something similar and who understand. If you are interested, you can also hear about how you can be more involved with opportunities to influence and create fairer dementia policies.
You can register via the Book Now button. You will receive a confirmation email with the Zoom link. Please contact carers@tidecarers.org.uk if you have any questions. Read more
Join us on Wednesday mornings for a relaxed chat with other members of tide. Our coffee morning groups friendly, informal and attended by current carers, carers of those who are in residential care and former carers so are open to all.
Our fortnightly coffee morning is a chance for you to meet and talk with other carers. Share your experiences and ease your concerns in a pressure-free supportive environment of other people who know what you are going through. The best way to start a positive change is to voice your thoughts & opinions. So come, listen and let's make a better future for carers together.
Please contact carers@tidecarers.org.uk if you have any questions. Read more
