Associate Membership

Anybody from any walk of life could be impacted by dementia. This has led us in our desire to be the go-to charity in Ealing for community outreach and awareness raising among businesses, educational institutions and the general public.

Our Associate Members are so important to our work. Become a member and you'll join a growing community of people who play a small or big part in what we do, to make sure that no-one faces dementia in Ealing alone. We invite you to be part of our vision today!

About our Associate Membership

Our Associate Members…

  • Form the peripheral heart of our community, sharing their experiences, connecting with each other and helping to shape our work.
  • Are our biggest champions.
  • Can be considered leaders among family, friends, neighbours and in their local wider community on issues surrounding dementia.
  • Are advocates and spokespersons for dementia issues in their workplaces, and speak about it from the heart.
  • Are our most driven fundraisers.
  • Know the most about our services outside of Social Services, staff, and direct clients. They don’t even have to look at our website!
  • Know our staff, our volunteers and our trustees.
  • Can signpost people not just to Dementia Concern, but to a myriad of other services and sources of information.
  • Are comfortable to speak from personal experience and to tell their story.
  • Are people others turn to for an empathetic listening ear or for a little support and compassion. 
  • Sometimes volunteer as befrienders of exhausted and run-down carers who feel that they are at their wit’s end. 

Our Core Values

COMPASSIONATE – We aim to show a compassion that is non-judgemental toward those with whom we work.

CONSIDERATE – We prioritise treating every person as an equal; respecting their dignity, freedom and rights.

CONNECTION – Our ‘personal’ ethos brings us to stronger connection with each other and our local communities. 

CONFIDENT – Our many years of ‘head, heart and hands’ knowledge and experience of dementia, means that together, we are confidently able, even in the smallest of ways, to support or help someone affected by it.

CONFIDENTIAL – We respect the confidentiality of everyone we come across, whilst recognizing that the physical and mental wellbeing of any person, vulnerable or otherwise, must always be paramount.

Opportunities & Benefits for Associate Members 

We’re always looking for passionate people to represent Dementia Concern as our ambassadors. There's no pressure to do anything, but if you are keen to take action we'll support you every step of the way. Potential options include:
