The Dementia Support Group
(UK, 1123776) Browse events
YTD Raised: £5.00"Tis better to light a candle than curse the darkness" We are a forward thinking group of people who strive to support carers of people with dementia and those they care for. The Dementia Support Group started in 1999 as a self-help group of carers of people with dementia. As we were the only group of this nature in Bolton our membership soon grew and we attained registered charity status in 2008. In order to effectively support the carer it was also neccessary that we supported the person with dementia. We therefore sought out many new and innovative therapies and devised some of our own to make the caring experience as positive and enjoyable as possible. The trustees of the charity and members of the management committee are all present and former carers of people with dementia and therefore have first hand knowledge and experience of what caring entails and what support is necessary. Several of our members have also persued professional qualifications in dementia studies to further their knowledge and to keep up to date with new technologies. We intend to be available for all carers of loved ones with dementia.
PIPS Charity
(UK, XT23768) Browse events

We have five programmes and we never charge people for attending our programmes. Our Preventing suicides in Your Community Programme was the first accredited suicide prevention training in the UK or Ireland. Our newest programme is Mind Your Mate - it gives 16 - 24 year olds the skills to save their friends from suicide - it was developed because of the dramatic increase in young people taking their own lives. We also provide outreach support to those at risk of suicide - calling to peoples houses who are too distressed to travel to help. We will accompany suicidal people to the hospital and medial appointments so that they get the help they need - too many at risk people do not attend appointments because their depression stops them. We provide free counselling to suicidal people, depressed non-suicidal people, children bereaved through suicide and adults bereaved through suicide. We do not receive one penny from the government in core grants.
