Bronze winner of the Health & Wellbeing category at the British Podcast Awards 2025!
One in two of us will be affected by dementia in our lifetime – whether by caring for someone with the condition, developing it ourselves, or both. Yet too often, the voices of people who are facing the many complex challenges of dementia go unheard.
Presented by award-winning journalist, editor, podcaster and Dementia UK Ambassador Marianne Jones, Dementia UK’s podcast, ‘My life with dementia’, takes listeners on a personal journey through the world of dementia, as told by people who have experienced it themselves. People living with the diagnosis. People who have found themselves in a caring role they never expected. And people who are grieving a loved one.
Through their stories, and with practical advice from our dementia specialist Admiral Nurses, we gain a deeper understanding of the condition from multiple perspectives – as well as invaluable insights, empathy and hope.

George's mum Linda was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease when she was just 57. George was 22 at the time.
The years since have been characterised by adjustment. He's seen his dad become a full-time carer, and has supported his parents through some huge changes in how and even where they live.
In this episode, George shares his experience of being thrust into the role of a young carer, and the emotional journey that has followed.
