Charity of The Year · 1 August 2017

At Alzheimer’s Society we’re working towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives. We do this by giving help to those living with dementia today, and providing hope for the future by campaigning to make dementia the priority it should be and funding groundbreaking research.

Story


 On Thursday 14th September the staff was addressed by Richard Gilliland from the Society who will be our liaison throughout the fifteen months ahead. This was a perfect opportunity for us to understand a little more about the Society and Dementia.

In the UK almost one million people suffer from Dementia and nearly six hundred thousand are suffering Whilst we were aware that over 20,000 people are living with Dementia in NI we did not realise that it is the leading cause of death both here and in the UK as a whole. Richard provided us with our welcome pack and various leaflets that will be available in our reception.

Our Give as you earn has already been switched to the Society and with over 90% of our staff giving by this means and matched funding by the Company we are already raising much needed funds.

Our Great Christmas bake off is our next event on 12th December 2017

Venue: The Dark Horse - 10am - 12pm

Special guest Judge - Andrew Smyth - finalist from the great british bake off 2016
