Why work for us

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.

Home support

At Dementia Matters’ we offer an all-inclusive Home Support service providing anything from a 1 hour call up to bespoke 24 hour packages of care designed around you in your home.

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.

Volunteer for us

By giving us your spare time, you're helping support those people and families who are affected by dementia. In turn we can offer you a rewarding experience where you can learn new skills, meet new friends and much, much more
