Missing A Note

Dementia Matters has been chosen as the charity partner for the amazing short film 'missing a note'. The movie is now finished and will premier in August.

Dementia Matters do great work in providing advice, support, and care for anyone who needs it, which is why I'd like to support them, so that they can continue to do wonderful things for those that need it.

Where your money goes

Unlike large national charities, Dementia Matters do not have huge fundraising resources. This has two impacts on a charity like ours. Firstly, it means that it is always a challenge to bring the funds in that we need to provide those “extra” services. Secondly, however, it means that practically every penny donated goes to the people we support.

Single or monthly donation

A donation to Dementia Matters helps us be the voice for more people with dementia – with our advice and support they can have a voice.
