It is my special birthday this month and I want to use it to ask for donations to my charity,

Dementia Carers Count, www.dementiacarers.org.uk.

Please buy me a “virtual pint” for £5 (or more) and we will use your donations to help families who are looking after a loved one. My friends know I always buy my rounds so I will match your donations up to maximum of £150. Please join me and together we can raise some much needed funds to help a great charity.

#dementia

One in five carers reaches crisis point regularly, and a whopping 80% of carers have reached a crisis point at least once. December can be the hardest time of the year for carers, so Dementia Carers Count have added extra ears to their carer support line and recently launched a carer crisis text service.

By donating, you'll be helping Dementia Carers Count deliver crucial support for dementia carers when they need it most.
