Dementia · Dignity · Hope

No one should face dementia feeling alone.

The Wendy Project supports Australian families, carers and people living with dementia — with warmth, practical tools and a community that understands. Inspired by Wendy. Founded with love by Karen.

Three promises at our heart

Everything we build and do comes back to dignity, hope and support.

Dignity

Every person living with dementia deserves to be seen, heard and respected — never reduced to a diagnosis.

Hope

There is life, laughter and meaning after diagnosis. We help families find the light, not just the loss.

Support

No carer should walk this road alone. We surround families with tools, knowledge and a caring community.

“When my world changed, I searched for something warm, human and genuinely helpful — and couldn’t find it. So I decided to build it. This is for Wendy, and for every family walking this path.”

Karen

Founder, The Wendy Project

The Wendy Companion

A gentle, accessible app that brings carers, families and professionals together around one dignity-first care plan — reminders, life-story memories, calm tools and more.

Daily Routine & Reminders

Gentle prompts for medication, meals, appointments and hydration — reducing anxiety for the whole household.

Medication Tracking

Simple, large-print medication schedules carers can manage from anywhere.

Life Story & Memory Book

Capture photos, voices and stories to ground identity and spark joyful reminiscence.

Safe & Found

Optional location awareness and 'this is home' cues for moments of disorientation.

Be part of a more dignified future.

Whether you give, volunteer, partner or simply share — every act of kindness helps an Australian family living with dementia.
