How your fundraising helps

£50 could fund 8 phone calls to a Dementia Advisor.

Caring for someone with dementia can be exhausting and isolating. Dementia Advisors are just a phone call away, to offer emotional support, practical advice and to reassure carers when things get tough.

£200 could fund a Community Dementia Advisor for the day.

Community Dementia Advisors provide face- to- face support for families facing complex challenges. Whether they’re supporting someone living with dementia, a carer, or an entire family, this support is invaluable when it comes to navigating the maze of dementia.

£300 could fund one singing for the brain session.

Singing for the Brain can bring a wealth of benefits to participants. From expressing themselves through their favourite songs, to getting some gentle exercise through dance, it’s a great way to spend time. A good session can leave people feeling uplifted long after the final notes are played, and give people something to look forward to.
