Fundraising through these challenging times

People often look to the national charities when they are donating or looking for a cause. Our challenge is to tap into those people and get them to donate to us rather than the national. This is difficult with us being small as we don’t have the advertising budget to compete with the big hitters.

From working, to home working, to furlough, working in HR has been a whirlwind since this pandemic began. Add working within the care sector to this and it adds a whole other host of things to think about.

Why work for us

Volunteer for us

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.
