My story

Thank you for visiting the fundraising page for my mum, Anna Benn, who recently lost her long and dignified battle with vascular dementia. Her illness had a distinct effect not only on Anna’s health but also had a marked impact on her family and friends and all of those who cared for her.

For the past 7 years Anna lived at Morriss House, an Abbeyfield Society Residential Home in north London, where she received the highest standard of personal and health care possible. As a way of keeping Anna’s memory alive and to thank those who looked after her we are raising funds towards a project to redecorate and refurbish the residents’ lounges at Morriss House.

We would like to ask for charitable donations from friends, neighbours and colleagues towards the Morriss House project via the Abbeyfield Society. Even the smallest amount donated will go a long way towards raising enough cash to make a difference to Morriss House.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to donate in Anna’s memory: The Abbeyfield Society gets your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
