Together Dementia Support

Who we are

Together Dementia Support is a charity in Manchester supporting people living with Dementia within the community and their family carers.

Thank you for your interest in our work.

We run a variety of social and activity groups as a way of preventing isolation, interacting with others in a similar situation and providing stimulating activities to those who would not ordinarily receive them. People do not need to bring a carer to attend any of our groups, meaning people without family support (or those whose family are in work) are able to attend our groups, particularly through the use of our minibus. This also means carers are able to take a few hours break from their caring role.

Some of the groups do allow family carers to also attend with the member, and we also have a dedicated carers group, to share experiences, learn some tips and develop support networks.

Our groups are fun hives of activity, where laughing and joking are key ingredients. Without the support of volunteers our good work would not happen.

We also have our Together @ Home service for members who cannot attend the groups, as well as Dementia Cafes that support carers.
