Supporting Dementia Together Since 2014

Thetford and District Dementia Support (TADDS) has been a lifeline for individuals and families navigating dementia since its first group day in July 2014. Founded by Joanne Mountjoy-Dixon, an experienced Dementia Lead, TADDS was created to fill the gap for those in Thetford and surrounding areas who lacked adequate support.
