Happy Birthday to us!

Today marks 5 years since Together Dementia Support was set up by Sally.  It’s a good time to stop and reflect on all that has been achieved so far and to say an enormous

THANK YOU to all of you (trustees, staff, volunteers, members, carers, fundraisers) who have  helped keep us on track and grow. 

 Sally says:  “I must thank my husband, Karl, in particular for listening to every up and down, trial and tribulation over the past years but also to all of you who have encouraged me when it’s been tough.”  Here’s to the next 5 years!
