Fundraising
Here you will find information on current fundraising events you can take part in and previous events to take inspiration from if you are thinking of holding your own fundraising event.
What we fundraise for
We are fundraising to support the running of our service. This includes our dementia Support Line, Carer Education Sessions, and Carer Support Groups. All of these activities help to support people living with dementia and their carers and relatives.
