Suited Tutor Joins Hands with Dementia Friends to Champion Community Awareness and Compassion

Introduction

At Suited Tutor, we believe education extends beyond the classroom — it’s also about inspiring compassion, empathy, and meaningful change. That’s why we are proud to announce our new partnership with Dementia Friends, an initiative by the Alzheimer’s Society that is transforming the way people think, act, and talk about dementia.

As an award-winning tutoring organisation dedicated to helping students Engage. Inspire. Achieve! 🎓, our vision has always encompassed a wider social responsibility. This collaboration reflects our commitment to building not just academic success, but a more understanding, inclusive society.

Who Are Dementia Friends?

Dementia Friends is the UK's largest social action movement to change perceptions of dementia. Backed by the Alzheimer’s Society, it empowers individuals to better understand dementia and encourages them to take small but powerful actions to support people affected by it.

With over 3 million registered Dementia Friends across the UK, the programme is making a tangible difference in schools, workplaces, and communities — and now, within the Suited Tutor network.

Why This Matters to Us

Education is a force for good. While Suited Tutor focuses on academic learning, we know that emotional intelligence, community engagement, and interpersonal awareness are just as critical for shaping tomorrow’s leaders.

By aligning with Dementia Friends:

• We aim to educate our tutors and students about dementia awareness.

• We encourage acts of kindness and understanding toward those affected.

• We integrate inclusive values into our learning culture.

Whether it's a student helping a neighbour with dementia or a tutor adapting their communication style with empathy, every small change contributes to a larger societal shift.

What This Partnership Will Involve

1. Dementia Awareness for Tutors

All Suited Tutor team members and tutors will be encouraged to register as Dementia Friends via the official platform. This involves watching a short video and committing to one dementia-friendly action.

2. Student Engagement and Community Projects

We’ll be sharing age-appropriate educational resources and challenges for students to complete — such as writing letters to care homes, learning about memory loss, or engaging in intergenerational projects.

3. School Collaboration Opportunities

As many of our partner schools and parents value emotional learning, we’ll be offering a chance to incorporate Dementia Friends awareness into the school-based tutoring experience.

4. Podcasts and Events

Our Wisdom Whispers podcast series will feature a special episode on dementia education, sharing insights from health professionals, educators, and carers. Stay tuned for this meaningful conversation.

Social Impact: Building a Kinder Generation

This partnership isn’t just a tick-box CSR initiative - it’s a heartfelt move to encourage kindness in action. Whether it’s understanding why someone with dementia might repeat a question, or helping raise awareness in their local area, our tutors and students will become micro-advocates for compassion.

By integrating dementia awareness into our educational values, Suited Tutor is proud to help nurture a generation that excels both academically and ethically.
