Volunteer with Together Dementia Support
A few hours a week changing lives
Volunteering is a rewarding and fulfilling way to make a difference in your local community.
Without volunteers, TDS wouldn't be able to deliver the vital support desperately needed across Manchester and Trafford to enable people to live positively with Dementia.
Group Volunteers
Weekly
Group volunteers assist in the running of our groups, chatting with members, helping out with activities such as arts and crafts, music and social exercises. There will be a different theme each week and even a few trips out. If you thrive in a group setting then this could be for you.
Together @ Home
Weekly or fortnightly
Volunteers will be matched with a person living with Dementia, often unable to make our groups, and their carer and given training so that they can visit their homes to chat and do some fun, social, creative, activities. This is a much more personalised 1:1 volunteering experience.
Dementia Café
Monthly
Dementia Cafes are a opportunity for carers of people living with Dementia to socialise and share experiences. Whilst the carers are able to share their concerns and gain advice, our volunteers are a helping hand on the opposite side of the room for the people living with dementia.
Driving
Whatever time you can give
If you are an experienced driver and would like to help out your local community, why not volunteer to drive our Torneo or minibus? People in your area depend on the transport we provide to get to groups and access support.
We also offer driving roles as a paid role. Please see our Current Vacancies page.
"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)
