Trafford Dementia Blog Launched

Hello and welcome to the Age UK Trafford Dementia Advice and Peer Support Network blog, otherwise known as Forget Me Not. The blog will be a place for people to keep up to date with our service, add comments and ideas, and contribute towards. Age UK Trafford aims to give people with memory loss in Trafford a voice, and enable them to live life to the full.

This blog will include updates of new events planned, including trips out and talks, as well as links to useful information, and will bring the peer support network interactions to a digital dimension .

So, let me introduce Age UK Trafford. We are an independent charity which aims to improve quality of life for people over the age of 50 in Trafford, including a general information and advice service, handy person, and silver surfer courses. In addition, we provide insurance services to the general popultation and have two shops that offer quality donated goods as well as a fancy dress outlet in Sale Moor.

Our extensive care services include specialised dementia day support, as well a general day support, dementia advice and peer support, home from hospital through Trafford General Hospital, and a telecare / residential care support broker. We also host Trafford Caring for Carers Partnership (TCCP) who support carers of people with mental health issues throughout the borough.

For further information and contact details, please visit our website:

I hope you enjoy the blog and look forward to working with our peer groups to create an interesting, informative and essential interactive space for people living with dementia in Trafford.

Bye For Now...
