Welcome to the willGather: Navigating the world with your aging loved one podcast! Thank you for joining us. 

Nov 1, 2023

Faced with the challenge of finding suitable activities for his grandfather living with Alzheimer’s, my guest Ben Atkinson-Wallis set out on a mission: to improve the well-being of individuals living with dementia and, in doing so, enhance their quality of life. Today, he is the CEO of Relish, an online retailer that offers dementia-friendly products and serves as a vital source of information and advice for managing all stages of dementia. Their mission is not just to sell products, but to uplift the spirits of those affected by dementia, offering fun, meaningful, and engaging activities that strengthen the bond between them, their families, friends, and caregivers.



In today's conversation, we explore the inspiration behind Relish, the array of products and activities it provides, and the meticulous research and development process that ensures its offerings truly benefit those living with dementia and their caregivers. We'll also discuss the profound impact these tools have on the relationships between individuals with dementia, their families, friends, and caregivers. We'll also get a sneak peek into their exciting upcoming product launch, designed to promote independence and the ability for individuals to continue living at home comfortably.



As we navigate the conversation, we aim to shed light on the unique needs and challenges faced by those living with dementia and their caregivers. We'll also touch on the critical factors that contribute to their wellness, offering practical tips and advice. And of course, we will discuss the future goals of Relish in its commitment to support the dementia community. Because at its core, the larger goal is to cultivate a nurturing and engaging environment that enriches the lives of those living with dementia.



Thank you, Ben, for sharing your story with us and bringing us hope!
