An evening with Scott Mitchell
In this moving account of his life with Dame Barabara Windsor, Scott Mitchell touches on issues that will resonate
with many members of the audience. This deeply personal and candid account of his journey of caring for a loved
one with Alzheimer’s/Dementia is told with love and humour, and he includes many anecdotes of the 27 years
they spent together.
Scott was born in London and grew up in Hove, Sussex. He moved back to London at 25, studying for 3 years as an
actor at Arts Educational Schools. After graduating and taking on various TV and theatre roles, Scott met his future
wife, actress Barbara Windsor, who he shared his life with for 27 years, before she passed away in 2020.
In 2014, Barbara was given the devastating news that she had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, a day that would
change both hers and Scott’s lives forever. Although initially kept private, Scott and Barbara went public with the news in 2018. Scott was offered support and advice.
In 2019, Scott entered the London Marathon with a team of Barbara’s friends and ex-cast mates from Eastenders,
known as Barbara’s Revolutionaries.
Alongside Alzheimer’s Research UK, Scott raised vital funds for Dementia research. To date it is the
record-breaking charity partner for the London Marathon, raising over £4 million. Scott also ran the 2021 and
2023 marathons, again (under the new team name “Babs Army”, raising more money for ARUK, a charity that
remains close to his heart today.
He also played a role in securing government funding for The Dame Barbara Windsor Dementia Goals
Programme (for research into new treatments).
Mitchell was appointed “People’s Champion” for the DBWDGP in 2024.
Under the programme, the Barbara Alliance was recently launched.
Scott continues to be a high-profile campaigner.
