Dementia Together Wirral provides relief from the social isolation experienced by those affected by dementia living together with their all-important carer. The day-to-day challenges faced by those affected by dementia often go unseen, but can be limiting to continue a normal life - such as the stress and confusion caused in social environments. Public reaction to their quirks of behaviour, speech or movement, may cause those with dementia to become reclusive and reluctant to share in gatherings. This social isolation from the community, friends and even family, deprives people of a sense of purpose and hope, and negatively affects their confidence and mental health. Our activities provide an opportunity to socialise with new friends who understand, in a safe environment, where they are supported by our volunteers and their peers - who can signpost them to other supportive organisations if necessary. To apply for a place please email Colette: help.dwt@gmail.com or phone 07935797445

Starfish Greathearts Foundation supports orphaned and vulnerable children in communities affected by HIV, AIDS and poverty in South Africa. We believe that every child deserves access to the Protection, Healthcare, Nourishment and Education that they need in order to fulfil their potential. In poverty stricken areas such as Kwazulu-Natal - which has the highest population of people living with HIV in South Africa, at an estimated two million - the effects of food insecurity amidst the global rise in costs of living are palpable. Moreover, the economic impact of recent floods and the continued effects of Covid-19 continue to heavily impact Kwazulu-Natal’s residents. Therefore, in a country where over 10 million children don't have enough food, vulnerable children and their carers in these rural areas urgently need our support. You can apply for places by emailing us to express your interest!
