Dementia awareness week 20th May 2019

As part of dementia awareness week we are taking part in various events across Newcastle, as well as opening up our Day care services in sessions for the public.

Where we work

We have 4 different services in different areas of the North East

Advice centre

The Dementia Advice Centre is a brand-new service for people living on Tyneside looking for effective, coordinated support or information about living with dementia.

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.

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.
