A bit about us
From our dedicated centre in Barnsley we provide support to those affected by dementia, their carers, families and friends by providing information, emotional support, social opportunities, meaningful activities and events.
What we do
BIADS is an organisation formed by Barnsley people to provide support to other Barnsley people who have any form of dementia and their families and friends. As an independent group serving the Metropolitan Borough of Barnsley we can guarantee that all funds raised and donations received will be used here in Barnsley.
From our dedicated dementia centre on Dodworth Road, Barnsley we provide support to those affected by dementia, their carers, families and friends by providing information, emotional support, social opportunities, meaningful activities and events. Through our range of services we hope to enable our members to live well with dementia in the community.
Our dementia day centre provides a safe friendly environment for people with dementia. Please visit our Day Centre page for more information.
