Welcome to Meri Yaadain CiC, tackling dementia in BAME communities.
Welcome
A very 
warm welcome to you to Meri Yaadain (My Memories) CiC. We are a Community interest Company (CiC) set up to expand on our work which we began in 2006. Together with a number of Directors, I am hopeful that we will be able to make a meaningful impact in supporting people from Black Asian Minority Ethnic (BAME) communities who face barriers in accessing information, services and advocacy.
Whether living with dementia or caring for a family member (or friend), individuals from these communities are often ‘seldom heard and seen’ in the dementia world. Not only does research (statistics) tell us that these communities are at higher risk of certain types of dementia, but they are also markedly absent in both accessing services or being able to have access to cultural competency beyond their home.

Raising Awareness
We aim to work in communities (wherever possible, in partnership with statutory and voluntary community organisations) to raise the awareness of dementia amongst the BAME communities.
Supporting Families
We want BAME carers to have the right access to information and support at the right time so that diagnosis is timely, carers get their carer assessment and the can be supported irrespective of care being a burden or rewarding to them.
Working with Services
We aim to work in partnership with statutory and voluntary community organisations to offer support, advice, guidance and training so that they are better able to meet the needs of BAME people living with dementia and their carer(s).
