Who we are:
Together Dementia Support (TDS) is a Manchester-based charity offering support, activities, and companionship for people living with dementia and their carers. Our community groups provide a welcoming space to socialise, share experiences, and take part in meaningful activities, helping members live positively with dementia.
What are we looking for?
We’re looking for warm, friendly volunteers who enjoy meeting people and want to make a difference. You’ll need good communication skills, patience, and empathy for people living with dementia. Reliability and a cheerful, caring nature are key—no specialist experience required as training is provided.
