It is estimated that almost 8,000 people in the Northern Beaches live with dementia. It is expected to grow by 38% by 2050 and almost 150% in Pittwater alone. 70% of people with dementia are living in the community. Whilst these statistics show the harsh reality of the disease, there are lots of programs spreading awareness of the disease, with much needed funds going into continued research and education around Dementia. 

“

In 2023, it is estimated there are more than 400,000 Australians living with dementia. Without a medical breakthrough, the number of people with dementia is expected to increase to more than 800,000 by 2058. 

Mindful Brews Dementia Café

To support those living in our community with, or caring for someone with Dementia, MWP Community Care have opened ‘Mindful Brews’, a community café that is a safe and supportive space where we offer a different program, activity or light movement exercise class each time the café meets. You don’t need to be a current MWP client to enjoy Mindful Brews, however bookings are necessary to secure your spot. Call Linda our Client Relationship Manager to book on 02 9913 3244.

“I have been a volunteer for over 20 years in different organisations which has given me a purpose apart from holding down a regular job. There has always been a great need for people in our community to know that there are so many people wo care and are compassionate and committed to supporting those who need our support. I have been with MWP now for 10 years and I am so proud to be part of their Caring of those in need in our Community  ‘In Giving You Receive’ has always been my motto.”

I have found that I have received far more than I have given. I have been given a new lease of life, in being able to make a difference in other people’s lives. I have developed firm friendships and I continue to meet new people, which is interesting and rewarding. The MWP Care staff are friendly, approachable and extremely supportive. What I love about volunteering, is getting out and having fun, in the company of fun and appreciative clients!”

Margaret, Client

“Thank you everyone at MWP for putting on these outings and events.  Even though I don’t go on many, the few I do attend, keep me sane.  They are so wonderful and I always look forward to them.  Also, whenever I call MWP with my list of questions, everyone is so nice and kind and very obliging.  You really take your time to explain everything.  You put me at ease”

Annette, Client

I would like to extend my sincere thank you for a wonderful evening. It was so gratifying for me to be able to spend time with the incredible MWP Community Care Team, which I feel very much a part of.
It was a celebration, not only of your volunteers, but you, the team, who lead us and champion us, with one common goal, to improve the lives of others in our community

Zeta, Volunteer

“I understands the daily difficulties MWP is faced with when it comes to pleasing individuals. I so impressed with everyone I’ve dealt with at MWP, whether it be in person or over the phone. The complexity of older people’s needs can often draw out the more unpleasant side of individuals. We are all different and the calm composure, patience, and tolerance MWP demonstrate with each individual when in large groups is impressive. Phone calls by Belinda are always a highlight. You feel her smile down the phone. It’s so uplifting.”
