Time for a Cuppa at MiY coffee shop, Newark, for Dementia UK
Fundraisers will be popping on the kettle tomorrow (Friday, May 6) for Dementia UK.
Time For A Cuppa will take place at the MiY coffee shop, based at the Everyday Champions Centre, from 9am to 11am.
It has been organised by Andy Smith to raise money for more dementia specialist Admiral Nurses.
He said: “We are really proud to be taking part in this year’s Time For A Cuppa event, raising crucial funds and awareness for dementia specialist charity Dementia UK.
“Dementia UK’s specialist Admiral Nurses understand the challenges faced by families with dementia, and they offer hope to families enabling them to live positively with dementia.”
Admiral Nurses help families affected by all forms of dementia, working in hospitals, GP practices and community services to provide clinical, emotional and practical support.
Dr Hilda Hayo, chief Admiral Nurse and chief executive of Dementia UK, said: “The last few years have placed increasing pressure on critical services that support families with dementia. This has left many families struggling and unable to cope with no one to turn to.”
“We are grateful for Guardian Angel Carers and the Everyday Champions Centre taking part in Time for a Cuppa to help raise crucial funds for Dementia UK. This support will help every family that needs one have the specialist support of our Admiral Nurses — a lifeline in a care system that still doesn’t work for families with dementia.”
