Alzheimer Scotland calling on people in the Highlands to join its Tea & Blether fundraiser
Ahead of Dementia Awareness Week, Alzheimer Scotland is encouraging people to host a coffee morning-style event to raise funds and awareness of dementia.
Kirsty Stewart, executive lead for stakeholder engagement, said: "Alzheimer Scotland is delighted to launch Tea & Blether as a new national fundraising campaign.
“Some of our local teams across Scotland have been delivering Tea & Blether-style coffee mornings for quite a few years and we know our supporters enjoy taking part in this style of event.
“The successful ingredient is, of course, connection, and we hope that by talking about dementia, we are able to help raise awareness, reduce stigma and bring communities together to support people with dementia and their carers.
“Every penny raised for Alzheimer Scotland stays in Scotland and, as a charity, we are continually amazed and grateful for our supporters’ efforts to, ultimately, help us ensure nobody faces dementia alone.”
