What a difference a day makes
The Filo Project is an award winning not-for-profit organisation which provides small group care days for people with early to moderate dementia and other challenges of older age; stroke, Parkinson's and sensory loss. We operate in Devon, Somerset, Cornwall, East Lancashire, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, and delight in providing a warm, welcoming and familiar place where friendships are made and social isolation diminished.
Within the nurturing environment of The Filo Project, the focus is firmly on individuals' capacities. Clients flourish, many experiencing positive changes in their symptoms and wellbeing. Families are also able to enjoy regular and extended respite.
Filo Family Support
We believe it is important to build relationships not only with our clients, but with their families too. Caring for someone with dementia brings with it many challenges; if care partners are well supported they are able to cope better with the demands placed upon them. In recognising this we are pleased to offer our complimentary Filo Family Support service.

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
