Ruth Eley

Chair, Together in Dementia Everyday (tide)

Ruth is the chair of Together in Dementia Everyday (tide), a UK wide charity that supports carers by building their skills, knowledge and confidence so they can get involved, speak up for themselves, and influence policy, practice and research. She is a strong advocate for recognising unpaid carers as equal partners, and co-delivers training and conference presentations alongside carers to ensure lived experience is central to tide’s work.

Ruth facilitates an online group for young onset dementia carers and co-runs a peer support group in Liverpool, in partnership with Alzheimer’s Society, for people with young onset dementia and their carers.
