Small Group Day Care
Our small group day care is our most established service. It provides a warm and welcoming space where lasting friendships are made and social isolation is eased. In The Filo Project’s nurturing setting we focus on individuals' strengths, helping clients to flourish while families benefit from regular and extended respite.
Transport is included in our service which allows us to reach even those most rurally located.
Filo Family Support
Our Filo Family Support Service offers regular, confidential and compassionate phone support, free for those whose family member attends a Filo group. It’s a trusted space where carers feel heard and supported.
We help people navigate change, cope with isolation, discuss behavioural challenges, and process feelings that can arise when supporting someone with dementia.
Dementia Wellbeing Service
Dementia is a condition that can change gradually over time, and with those changes, people’s needs may also evolve. It can sometimes feel difficult to know what support is available or where to seek help. That’s why we’ve created our Dementia Wellbeing Support Service which offers gentle, practical support when it’s needed. This optional, paid-for service is open to anyone in the community, and your family member doesn’t need to attend a Filo group to access this additional help.

End the Dementia Tax
We are a not-for-profit organisation but because of VAT rules, we have to charge families an extra 20% on the vital day care we provide. This is because we’re a Community Interest Company, and not a regulated business or charity. Over the last 11 years, Filo families have paid an additional £500,000 in VAT on their day care. We don’t think that’s fair. We're doing everything we can to get this financial penalty removed, but we need your support.
