10 Years of TDS Celebration Showcase

Join us to celebrate 10 Years of Together Dementia Support

We invite you to join us on Friday 6th September, to celebrate a decade of Together Dementia Support with an exciting, uplifting and educational showcase.

We’d encourage you to share the experience - bring a friend or colleague. All are welcome.

Together Dementia Support was set up in 2014 to provide joined-up support for people living with dementia in Manchester. Our founder and CEO, Sally Ferris, identified the need for more meaningful days of fun, friendship and stimulating activities, alongside the difficulties of coping with life post diagnosis.Ten years later, dementia is the biggest health challenge facing the UK, and thousands of people and their dedicated family carers need expert support.

We have become the leading dementia support charity in the region, despite a global pandemic and the challenges of charity fundraising. Our celebration showcase is both an opportunity to share some of what we have built and learnt in the past 10 years, and also a time to reflect on the need to do even more.

Join us in person at Manchester Central Library on Friday 6th September, from 12 to 3:30pm, or online to hear from members and carers, staff and trustees, and guest speakers as we look ahead to the next decade and the future of dementia support in Manchester.

Here at Together Dementia Support, we know that meaningful and impactful dementia support takes a village - it takes a whole community of dedicated carers, staff and volunteers. We are incredibly proud of all we’ve achieved in the past 10 years, and we are privileged to have been a part of so many lives. And whilst we don’t know what the future holds, we do know that Together We Are Strong.
