Sarah Allfree

Centre Manager

My name is Sarah & I live in Fareham. I have always worked in a medical setting - became a medical secretary on leaving school many many years ago! In my 30s I decided to go to University & get a degree in Occupational Therapy.  This was my ideal job - looking after patients & enabling them to be as independent as possible, in whatever setting they preferred. Once I had my son in 2005,  I was lucky enough to be a full time mum. He had some complicated medical problems, which impacted his education and our lives. Once he was stable and doing well at senior school I found myself looking for work and became a domicilary carer. I loved my work and seeing people thriving & independent in their own homes. During this time I visited a Dementia Care Hub social group run by our Founder, Dr Kellyn Lee. From then on I started volunteering at the various groups in the Fareham & Gosport area. Observing the difference the Dementia Care Hub increased my interest in working with patients living with dementia. In March 2024, I was lucky enough to be able to take on the role of Manager at the Fareham & Gosport Hub. I am constantly in awe of the people I meet, especially the people living with dementia & their care Partners. I am also very lucky to work with the best staff and volunteers. I look forward to supporting many more families to live as well as they possibly can with a dementia diagnosis.

My name is Tracey, I am a wife and a proud mother of two successful young adults, and I have lived in Fareham all my life. I have a recruitment and service industry background , but for the last twenty years I have worked in the education and childcare sector, in which I started my own company and ran an arts and crafts club for young people. I love cooking, spending time with my extended family and walking my very needy Boston Terrier. Since I started working at the hub, I have met such wonderful people, with such interesting stories and lives. I love how all the groups within the hub bring people together from all walks of life. I arrived at the Dementia Care Hub looking for friends, but found inclusion and safety similar to what a family provides.

The Dementia Care Hub - dementia is hard, getting support shouldn't be.
