Volunteer with Together Dementia Support
A few hours a week changing lives
Thank you for your interest in volunteering here with us at Together Dementia Support - we're really grateful to anybody who wants to help us make a difference.
Please note: currently, we are only recruiting for the volunteering roles listed on this page. Please read the role descriptions thoroughly, and only submit an application if you can be consistency available during the relevant weekly time slot for a minimum of 6 months.
Volunteering is a rewarding and fulfilling way to make a difference in your local community.
Without volunteers, we wouldn't be able to deliver the vital support desperately needed across Manchester and Trafford to enable people to live positively with Dementia.
We have a variety of roles available across our services that suit all levels of skill and experience.
Available Roles
Volunteer Minibus Escort
Could you support our minibus drivers onboard our two lovely minibuses, helping to pick-up and drop-off members before and after groups each week? You'll be their first and last contact with TDS each week, so if you can offer a chatty nature, positive attitude and big smile - then this could be for you. This role is for 18+ only.
Together at Home Volunteer
Together at Home is our 1:1 befriending service for people who are unable to attend our groups. It's a little more laid back and relaxed compared to our groups, so if you'd enjoy offering support and creative activities to somebody living at home, and you're able to commit to a 1.5 hour visit every week or fortnight - this could be the role for you.
Dementia Café Volunteer
Dementia Cafés are an opportunity for carers of people living with dementia to socialise and share experiences.
Carers are able to share their concerns and get advice from visiting Dementia Support Advisors and Admiral Nurses over a cup of tea, while volunteers help their cared-for person with dementia with fun, creative activities.
Wednesday Group Volunteer
Could you support our East Manchester Friendship & Activity Group, 1 - 3pm each Wednesday? You'll be chatting with members, helping out with activities such as arts & crafts, music and social exercises. There is a different theme every week - and even a few trips out!
If you thrive in a group setting, then this could be for you.
Friday Group Volunteer
Can you support our North Manchester Group - 10:30am until 2pm each Friday? You'll be chatting with members, helping out with activities such as arts & crafts, music and social exercises. There is a different theme every week - and even a few trips out!
If you thrive in a group setting, then this could be for you.
"Volunteering with Together Dementia Support is so fulfilling.
You get so much out of it, meet some amazing people, and you see week in week out the difference you are making to people's lives."
~ Anne, Lead Volunteer (Trafford Group)
