Together Dementia Support
Dementia is impacting on thousands of families across Manchester and North Trafford. Many people find themselves completely without support, and struggle to navigate the complexities of health and social care, as well as daily life. Life beyond a dementia diagnosis does not have to be lonely or boring. We provide post-diagnosis rehabilitation support in the form of a vibrant community-based activities programme.
Alzheimer’s Society
Here at Alzheimer's Society we are always working hard to improve the lives of people living with dementia, to raise awareness, and to continue to fund life changing research on all aspects of dementia.

Eating disorders are serious mental illnesses that ruin and, too often, take lives. We estimate that they affect 1.25 million people in the UK of all ages, genders and backgrounds. They steal childhoods, devastate relationships and pull families apart. However, we know that recovery is possible. And with your help, we’re determined to ensure everyone gets the support they need and deserve.
McPin Foundation, The
For over a decade, the McPin Foundation has put those living with mental health issues at the heart of cutting-edge research. Leaving a legacy will allow us to continue to improve mental health research, with those with lived experience at the centre. Our projects explore treatments for paranoia, how virtual reality can help those with psychosis, better ways to tackle loneliness in our communities, and much more.

We fund research that has the potential to make a real difference to the lives of those with mental health problems and train the mental health research workforce of the future ensuring that our investments have a sustained impact on future mental health.
PeerTalk
The origins of PeerTalk go back to a community care initiative founded with the generosity of many in 2014 to support people living with depression. Today we operate as a registered charity running a national network of volunteer-facilitated face-to-face peer support groups for adults experiencing poor mental health.
Rethink Mental Illness
Being severely affected by mental illness can make our world smaller. Shrinking our circle of friends, family, neighbours and colleagues. But we need each other, and we always will. Today community comes in many forms, but however we access it, it’s vital to recovery, and living a full life.
SANE
SANE is a leading UK mental health charity. Our aim is to change mental health for good through research, campaigning and support for anyone affected by mental illness, including families and carers. Our vision is to help create a world in which there is no shame or blame surrounding mental illness. We believe mental health needs to be recognised as one of the greatest challenges facing society today and must be treated with the same seriousness as physical health.
