This Christmas 850,000 people will be living with dementia. My mother died with the condition, so I know from personal experience the devastating impact dementia has on everyone touched by it — and how important it is to know that support is out there when you need it.
On Saturday, December 6, the Alzheimer’s Society will have the incredible opportunity to fundraise for people living with dementia.
All the money raised will help support people living with dementia stay in their own homes and be part of community life for longer.
Celebrate some early festive cheer by joining one of our teams collecting money at a Homebase store near you.
If you can spare just a few hours to help us collect, please get in touch today by calling 0845 678 7678 or visit www.alzheimers.org.uk/homebasecollection — and ask your friends and family to support this important cause.
