Alzheimer's Society - Side by Side Service

Coronavirus

Due to the rapidly changing COVID-19 situation, some of the organisations listed on here are still in the process of posting service updates. Many phone lines and websites are still available, but some contact details have changed. Try the organisation's own website if you're having difficulty getting through.

Side by Side will provide personalised companionship for people with dementia either in their own home or during outings and activities in the community. This could be anything from a round of golf, listening to music, or simply having a cup of tea and a chat.

Side by Side is provided by volunteers who are supported and managed by staff. Activities will be specific to the assessed needs and will be decided in agreement with the service user.

You can download a copy of the flyer here for sharing online or print.
