Living better together with dementia
We support people across Manchester and North Trafford to live positively with dementia.
Our services include Friendship & Activity groups, social outings, short-term carer respite and free carer training for family care partners.
People living with dementia & their carer(s)
If you are a referring:
-
a person living with dementia
-
a person living with dementia and their carer

for our Together @ Home service
This form is split into two halves. You will fill in information regarding a person living with dementia first, then the second half of the form will load for you to fill in information about any carers.
If there isn't a carer, there will be an indicator of when you can safely close the form.
For an annual payment of £25.00, our Supporters can enable people living with Dementia and their loved ones access much needed support, advice, guidance and social activities.
You will receive a bi-annual newsletter keeping you up to date with all things Together Dementia Support, as well as an invite to our Annual Showcase where you can meet the members your generosity directly benefits.
