This funding will expand DBUK's support to Yorkshire, Manchester, Merseyside, London, the East and West Midlands. Free membership includes matching people with volunteers and social groups for activities like art classes and digital technology training. DBUK signposts to other services and helps with everyday things like shopping, paying bills, and overcoming communication and mobility barriers, providing some respite for carers. There is an advocacy manager for advice on welfare, health and legal matters.
