Christmas Song · 16 December 2024

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

Our on-line Christmas collaboration between musicians from South Wales and Poland has resulted in the production of a new Christmas song and accompanying video. Our aim is to raise money in support of services and research to improve the lives of those suffering from and those caring for people with Dementia. This cause is close to our hearts, as several of us have personal experience of caring for those suffering from this debilitating disease both past and present.

The video can be seen here:

We are sure that many of you who have watched and enjoyed the video will know at least one person who has been affected by some form of dementia and therefore we encourage you all to share the video and give generously at this time of giving.

Our chosen charity is the Alzheimer’s Society

“One in three people born in the UK today will develop dementia in their lifetime. It devastates lives and, at Alzheimer’s Society, we’re changing that. Together with your help, we can give vital support to those who need it today, hold decision-makers to account, and fund ground breaking research to transform the future for everyone living with dementia.

We know that research is key to ensure that dementia no longer devastates lives. That’s why right now, we’re backing the world’s brightest minds and funding over 600 research projects to find the best ways to get early diagnosis, innovate care and develop targeted treatments to change the landscape of dementia.

We make living with dementia less frightening by making sure people don’t face dementia alone. Through our support line, online and print information, expert dementia advisers and online community, we give advice and practical guidance for the next steps as people living with dementia navigate the hardest times of their lives” (Alzheimer’s Society https://www.alzheimers.org.uk/)

We would also lime to express our gratitude to David McDonald from Evolution studios (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100087897351584) for his time in helping to record the drum track.
