2020-23: Dementia buddies

Serco logo – bringing service to life

This Sport England-funded three-year national programme, a collaboration between Timebanking UK, Serco and Alzheimer’s Society, aims to improve the physical and mental health of people living with dementia. The More Volunteering programme pairs people living with dementia with buddies to support them to access Serco leisure centres. The buddies support their partners while they visit the pool or gym, and earn a timebanking hour per visit, which they can redeem for a trip to the leisure centre for themselves.
