Volunteer with Dementia Carers’ Support Service

Dementia Carers Support Service (DSCC) is small team of volunteers supporting carers of people living with dementia. The volunteers are trained, supported and supervised by experienced staff to deliver compassionate listening, signposting and support. If you feel that you could support someone caring for a loved one who has dementia, you can call the service on 01480 420311 for more information or email cpftdcss@cpft.nhs.uk.

Nearly all of us know someone with dementia. Many of us find ourselves caring for a parent, partner or family member who has dementia. Some of us who have been there, volunteer to help other people through a similar journey. Starting from as little as an hour a week, or as much time as you can give, you really can make a difference in many ways. Whether you want to develop new skills or give something back to your local community, you can support us and make a real difference to dementia carers’ lives.
