Dementia Week started at Tesco, and as always, it was a busy and rewarding day at their Amersham Superstore.
We had a fantastic day collecting donations, meeting members of the public, and most importantly raising awareness about dementia and the support that is available for individuals and families living with the condition. Throughout the day we were able to speak with so many people, answer questions, offer advice where we could, and simply take the time to listen to personal experiences and concerns.
Events like these are so important because they help bring dementia into everyday conversations and remind people that support is available and that no one has to face it alone. The generosity and kindness shown by shoppers and staff throughout the day was truly appreciated and makes a real difference to the work we do. .
We would love to do many more days like this, but we can only make that happen with the help of volunteers who are able to spare just a couple of hours from time to time. Whether it’s helping on a stand, speaking with the public, or supporting fundraising activities, every little bit of help makes a huge difference.
If you feel you could spare a couple of hours from time to time for a good cause , please contact Sue by email at s.luxton@dementia-respite.org.uk
A huge thank you to BJ, all the Tesco staff, and everyone who stopped to chat, donate, and support us during the day. Your support means so much to us and to the families we help
