Regrowth Consultancy is excited to announce a formal partnership with Childhood Dementia Initiative, selected unanimously by the Consultancy firm at a recent strategy day as a part of their CSR corporate social impact contribution. Childhood Dementia Initiative is also an organisation in its infancy and launched five years ago, like REGROWTH. The partnership provided such a great opportunity for the consultancy and coaching business to help raise awareness of childhood dementia and assist families affected by the condition, an illness that tragically leads to suffering and loss for so many.

With over 100 genetic conditions causing childhood dementia, all of which are terminal and currently without cures, this issue is pressing. In Australia, a baby is born every 3 days with a condition that will result in childhood dementia, comparable in frequency to well-known disorders like cystic fibrosis. Disturbingly, 50% of these children are expected to pass away by age 10, and 71% may not reach their 18th birthday.

Director and founder Kylie Walsh was inspired to support this cause after hearing a spokesperson from Childhood Dementia Initiative at the Elders Lifestyle Group’s annual conference. She recognised that REGROWTH could passionately rally behind efforts to raise funds and awareness, aiming to support the experiences of families and children by encouraging the property profession to contribute to innovative research and support.

Co-Director of REGROWTH Lauren Kirk expressed her enthusiasm about hosting the Childhood Dementia Initiative team at Navigate 2025 to share their message about sustainable global health solutions and raise awareness. Throughout the year, Regrowth will support this initiative at various events, conferences, and training sessions, striving for positive outcomes in awareness and fund-raising while ensuring equitable access to quality care for children with dementia and their families.

"We are so grateful for Regrowth Consultancy's leadership and generosity. This partnership will have immediate and lasting impacts on children with dementia,” said Partnerships Fundraising Manager at Childhood Dementia Initiative, Deanne Bennett.
