A community for supporting, guiding & comforting

A podcast dedicated to supporting loved ones who have been diagnosed, their care givers and their family members.

With 100's of types of dementia, we know everyones experience is unique.

That's why we are building a community that helps people feel understood, less isolated and less alone on this journey.

We want to bring hope to those who have been just diagnosed- this is not the end, but a beginning of new reality (that can still be filled with a lot of good times and joy).

For care givers & family, we provide a place you can come to learn from trusted experts, a space to come where people 'get it', and provide a supportive place to help support you throughout your journey.

We interview experts, we chat to people with lived experience and we have hosts who either have been diagnosed or have experience caring for loved ones.

Join us in building the most supportive Dementia community in the world!

Latest Episode

In this heartfelt and uplifting episode, Tom returns as a regular co-host to share his powerful story of living with dementia for over seven years.

Alongside Fran and the group, we dive into the real, everyday experiences of life after diagnosis—exploring the emotional challenges, shifting relationships, and surprising moments of joy that come with it.

Meet the hosts.

Fran Murt

Diagnosed with dementia in 2020, Fran has always been a nurse and today uses her experience of living with dementia and medical expertise to speak with university's, hospital staff, and the Alzheimers community to demonstrate that life doesn't end with a diagnosis. Fran's story is one of hope and inspiration - 'we can't control what happens to us, only how we react'. Fran's response to a diagnosis which is devastating to millions, is the primary message of our podcast... 'I will get up, I will live the best life possible, and I am not going to let dementia define me.' A truly remarkable lady with experience in every aspect of what fighting dementia means.

Tom Hinde

Diagnosed in 2018 Tom is keen to share his positive outlook on life & living with dementia. Still working for four hours each day in a pub, whilst completing the odd 20 mile bike ride, Tom brings humour and his positive energy to each episode. Tom is living proof that if you live well, you can live well with dementia.

Stephen Evans

Over seven years ago, Stephen’s journey with dementia began when both of his parents were diagnosed with forms of dementia. Stephen’s wife is a Doctor, and he himself has worked in clinical medical research for over 20 years. He joins us to share his invaluable personal experience and insights, alongside his knowledge of health systems, patient impacts & health economics to bring a unique and inquisitive approach to the conversations. He’s excited to learn more from experts, and those with lived experience. He hope’s these conversations help those loved ones with Dementia and their families whichever stage of the journey you are on.

Leon Rossiter

His Grandad had the disease and knowing that ADHD means an increased risk of getting it, is keen to learn more about what he can do to prevent a disease that is usually 20 years in the making, with 50% of Dementia's said to be preventable. Over the past 15 years, Leon has been dedicated to using technology in order to better the lives of others. As co-founder of Leaf Story, Leon and his team are committed to helping people & families fight dementia.
