Manchester Informatics colleague wants your vote for Together Dementia Support in the People’s Projects competition

Would you like to support local people living with dementia by doing something that’s free, easy and only takes one minute? 

Katie McCall, Events and Communications Coordinator at our Manchester Informatics institute, would like your vote for Together Dementia Support, a local dementia charity, in the National Lottery funded People’s Projects competition. 

Katie is a volunteer with the charity, which wants to win funding so it can provide safe transport for people living with dementia and carers to help them access support networks, community groups and to reduce isolation. 

She said: “We need as many people to vote for us as possible.

“We’re the only Manchester project in the running for the funding, and we find that transport is one of the key challenges that prevents people with dementia from accessing our services, so we really hope that lots of people in Manchester will vote for us – and please share with all your colleagues, family and friends.”

• Go to the People’s Projects website
