Portchester Hub

The Dementia Care Hub was founded by Dr Kellyn Lee in 2021. Kellyn is a BPS chartered psychologist and academic with over 10 years' experience in applied ageing and dementia research. She has worked at the Universities Portsmouth and Southampton and LSE. In her work with both people living with a dementia, their families and friends she witnessed the struggles people experience adjusting to the changes dementia brings.  She strongly believes that whilst dementia is hard, getting support shouldn't be and so established The Dementia Care Hub as a place in which evidence-based practices plus practical support help all people affected by dementia throughout their journey. She has set up local 'Meeting Centres' that provide psychological support, social groups, respite sessions, and art and music groups. The aim is to reduce isolation and loneliness, remove stigma and enable people live better for longer.
