We’ll Be in Touch was a unique project that developed by Manchester’s Royal Exchange in response to the lockdowns of 2020 and 2021. Following training, volunteers from the Elders Company led creative phone calls with participants from Together Dementia Support. We’ll be in Touch is a short film that explores the project and the positive effects this had on participants and volunteers alike over the last year.

Following the premier of the film, a panel brought together volunteers and participants along with Andy Barry (Elders Programme Producer) from the Royal Exchange Theatre, Lucy Temby (Dementia Group Leader) from Together Dementia Support and Liz Postlethwaite from Small Things who helped develop the programme to discuss the project.
