About us

About Dementia Together Wirral

We're a Wirral charity bringing people together through friendship, activities and support.

Together

We meet people where they are

People living with dementia and their carers need a community, a place to enjoy and relax, where they feel recognised and supported.

Dementia Together Wirral organises sessions, trips and support groups at many locations across the Wirral and into Ellesmere Port, because we believe friendship matters more than diagnosis.
You do not need a formal diagnosis to join us.

Questions

Find answers to the questions we hear most often.

Who can join us?

Anyone living with dementia or memory loss, and their carers, family members or friends. You don't need a diagnosis to come along, because diagnoses can take time and people need company sooner. Our sessions are free.

How do I get involved?

Visit our calendar to see what's on this month, or get in touch to find out more. You can also volunteer with us or support our work through fundraising.

Is there support for carers?

Yes. Carers are welcome at every activity we run, and our coach and boat trips are designed so carers can relax too. Trips for former carers are coming soon. Our Help and support page lists other local services for carers.

Are your sessions accessible?

We choose venues with access in mind, but every venue is different. If you have specific needs, ring us on 07935 797445 and we will check the venue for you.

How is DTW run?

We're a registered charity (no. 1179533) governed by a board of five trustees, with a small team of staff and more than 60 volunteers. Two-thirds of our volunteers have cared for someone with dementia themselves. Our annual report and accounts show how we're funded and where the money goes.
