Story
We are a small team of volunteers in Haddenham whose families have all been touched by dementia. We are encouraging everyone in our community to take part in this year's Festive lights Trail from 1st to 31st December. We hope that residents will sign up, download or buy a map, enjoy the Trail and make a donation to Dementia UK.
Their Dementia Helpline is staffed by specialist Admiral Nurses who provide information, advice, and support with any aspect of dementia. Admiral Nurses also run free face-to-face Dementia Clinics at selected Nationwide branches across the UK, including in Buckinghamshire. Local confidential Clinics include Aylesbury, Bletchley, High Wycombe and Marlow. See below for locations and dates:
A donation of £4 pays for the telephone cost of one family calling the free Helpline. £25 pays for a carer to receive an hour of one-to-one support from an Admiral Nurse.
If we can raise £500, that will fund a new Admiral Nurse to run two full days of face-to-face appointments for families affected by young onset dementia (where symptoms develop under the age of 65). If we can raise £1000, this could pay for an Admiral Nurse to answer calls from families on the Dementia UK Helpline for a whole week. Thank you for your support.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
