Our story

When my mum, Hazel, was going through the process of getting a dementia diagnosis, she found it distressing and depressing to be in groups with others who were ‘further along.’ Seeing what her future might hold was overwhelming.

​

Hazel wanted to continue living her life doing the things she loved, which is why we created The Good Company People.

 

We carefully curate experiences based on every person to help to continue to do what they love, in familiar places with people who are in similar situations.

Our approach

“In modern life we so often over complicate things but behind The Good Company People is a perfectly simple (and simply perfect) concept. That time spent with friendly people is good for us.

This is no wild claim; the scientific evidence fully supports it – chatting with friends, building strong supportive relationships, sharing interests and passions all deliver positive emotional, mental and physical health outcomes.”
