Pharmacy held a great fundraising event last week to support ‘Dementia UK providing specialist nurses for families affected and raised a  £100 after it was topped up by a fiver this week!

As part of the fundraiser, the team made cakes, enjoyed tea/coffee, played Pin ‘the cherry on the cake’ and played Guess the weight of the cake (donated by a friend).

First prize for pin the cherry on the cake was a box of chocolates, whilst the Guess the weight of the cake winner walked away with a large home-made chocolate cake weighing 1507g (with board). (3.3lbs)

Below is the message they received from Dementia UK for all their efforts:

Thank you for donating to our Time for a Cuppa campaign today. We are delighted that you chose to get involved and support Dementia UK by popping the kettle on and enjoying some cake this year.

Your donation of £95.00 today will mean that an Admiral Nurse can be there for more families facing dementia across the UK, either through our specialist nurses in the community or on our national helpline, Admiral Nursing Direct.

“At my lowest ebb, someone suggested I ring an Admiral Nurse. I had never heard of them but I rang. I firmly believe the nurse who talked to me for an hour on the phone saved my life.” – Sheila, former carer and campaigner.

On behalf of Dementia UK, our Admiral Nurses and the people we support, thank you for helping us help families face dementia.
