Volunteers sorting donations at a food bank

Your perfect charity match, in minutes.

A few questions. Then we do the work.

Most questions are just a tap.

You'll pick from cards for most of it, and we'll only ask you to type once or twice. Every answer changes what we ask you next, so no two people see the same questions.

Most people answer between five and eight after picking where to start. Here are a few that one person saw.

    Then we show you what we've heard, so you can put us right before we pick anything.

Before we recommend anything, we show you what we've understood.

That way you can see we've listened, correct anything that doesn't feel right, and feel confident in the recommendations that follow.

  • Your mum was diagnosed with dementia earlier this year
  • Supporting her and your family through this matters most to you
  • You want to help people living with dementia today, not just fund research
  • You're open to both UK-wide and local organisations
  • You'd like to give regularly, even a small amount
  • You want to find organisations you wouldn't normally come across
  • Transparency matters, you want to know how your donation is used
  • You're interested in practical, on-the-ground support

What we'll look for

  • Charities that focus on carers and families, not just the person with dementia
  • Practical support available now, not research funding
  • Organisations you wouldn't normally come across
  • Regular giving opportunities so your support is sustained

Recommendations shaped by what you told us.

An example of what your recommendations could look like, each one with a clear reason why it fits.
