How can we help?

Milly's Foundation Alderney is an organisation dedicated to providing training and support for professionals and caregivers dealing with dementia. Additionally, we offer confidential help, information, and support for individuals experiencing memory issues. To date, we have trained 55 people including local businesses and professionals.

Where did it begin?

Milly's Foundation was founded on Alderney in 2014 by Colin Williams, whose wife Milly had dementia. Colin wanted to ensure that other families affected by dementia had access to the resources and support that his family did not have when they were caring for Milly.

Milly's Foundation works in partnership with the Connaught Care Home.

Additionally, Liz Bowskill, Operations Manager of the Connaught, is available for additional information about the foundation and its work.

“Milly’s Foundation recognises that the role of a carer is often a demanding and thankless one, and they seek to offer support and assistance in any way possible. Through various programs and initiatives, MF aims to give carers a much-deserved break from their caregiving duties, allowing them to recharge and take care of their own physical and emotional well-being.” — Lesley Cairnduff
