How your money helps
£500
could fund our vital online service Talking Point for 3 days.
Speaking freely about dementia and the challenges it poses can be difficult. But sharing with people who understand the realities of dementia can make a huge difference in how people feel, and how they cope. Thankfully, the Talking Point online community is a place of understanding and compassion, where people can go 24/7.
£1,000
could help 1,000 people facing dementia access the support they need through our online Dementia Directory.
The Directory is an incredibly easy to use online tool that can connect people to the right support within their local area. The services are Alzheimer’s Society’s and any others that are available that can help.
£2,000
could fund 4 Singing ForThe Brain sessions.
These sessions brings people affected by dementia together to sing a variety of songs they know and love, in a fun and friendly environment. We also do vocal exercises that help improve brain activity and wellbeing.
