NATC President 2026 – 2027

Carol Hamilton-King

Hello! I am honoured – and very excited – to have been elected as your National President for 2026-27. And how wonderful to have taken the reins of this fabulous Association at our AGM in Southampton – on my birthday! A wonderful way to celebrate and a great way to start my year.

I am very much looking forward to getting out and about; to charter celebrations, fundraising events, membership events, bowling, axe throwing, quizzing, crafting – whatever you and your Clubs are doing, I would like to share it with you!

My diary lady is Shirley Chard, so please email presidentcarolsdiary@outlook.com to book a visit – or complete a booking form on the Tangent website

You can see what I have been up to, where I have been and some of the ladies I have met on my News Blog and some of the lovely photos of my year on my Photo Gallery.

Hopefully you will be seeing a lot of these two over the coming year, as Tangent turns blue. For me, this design and my strap line captures the very heart of what Tangent stands for: friendship, compassion and support. It represents the kindness and understanding that can make such a difference and the comfort that people living with dementia and those who care for them, so desperately need to make each day a little easier.

So, let’s see how far these little bears can travel, spreading their simple, but powerful message as they go.

Presidents Charity Alzheimer’s Society

My chosen charity for 2026-2027 is Alzheimer’s Society. 

Dementia is the UK’s biggest killer.

With nearly 1 million people living with the condition, it affects us all and it devastates lives.

It’s cruelty overwhelms those living with it. It’s scale overwhelms the NHS, social care and the economy. It’s complexity poses overwhelming challenges in how we research, diagnose and treat it.

You can learn more about the charity and how you can help by visiting my Charity Page.

Please visit my Just Giving Page to help me hit my target of £10,000 for Alzheimer’s Society.
