Where we work

We have 3 different services in different areas of the North East
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.
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.
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.
