About us
Since launching in November 2024, Together Forever has grown into a thriving group with 45 members—highlighting the need for welcoming, supportive social spaces in our community.
Why it matters
Social isolation can have a significant impact, especially for people living with dementia and their carers. Together Forever helps to:
✨ Reduce loneliness and boost wellbeing
🧠 Encourage gentle mental and physical activity
💙 Offer support and respite for carers
👥 Build meaningful friendships and routine
This is a friendly, informal group focused on enjoyment—not clinical structure—helping people feel comfortable, confident, and connected.

📍 Bradbury House, Market Street, Glossop, SK13 8AR
🕐 Every Tuesday, 1:00–3:00pm
💷 £3 per person (to support venue and activities)
