Bob's Brainwaves is a Lincolnshire based charity, focused on supporting people with a dementia diagnosis and their carers. Founded in 2023 by Chris Suich, the charity was inspired by her personal experience caring for her husband, Bob, who had Young Onset Dementia.
The charity provides a handy help pack which acts as a navigation tool to help families find the information and support they need. It is aimed at saving time and reducing stress at one of the most difficult times a family can face. The charity operates with a core group of dedicated volunteers, there are no paid staff; and relies on local funding. The charity works in partnership with local groups and organisations to ensure that those with a diagnosis receive the packs and can access the services they need.
Bob's Brainwaves Packs first launched in East Lindsey in January 2024, followed by West Lindsey in September 2024 . In that time we have given out almost 1000 Packs and have received much postive feedback from both carers and professionals.
