Dementia UK runs Make Time for a Cuppa fundraiser
Dementia specialist nursing charity, Dementia UK, is running its 14th annual Time for a Cuppa Fundraiser.
The charity is encouraging people to get together between 1 and 8 May to host a Time for a Cuppa event at home, at work, or in the local community.
Over the past 14 years, Time for a Cuppa has raised over £1,600,000 which has helped to fund numerous Admiral Nurse services around the UK to support families with dementia.
Dr Hilda Hayo, Chief Admiral Nurse and chief executive of Dementia UK said: “One in two of us will be affected by dementia in our lifetime. Either by caring for someone with the condition, developing it ourselves, or both. It is a huge and growing health crisis.”
She added: “We believe every family affected by dementia should have the support of a specialist nurse – but right now, we can’t reach everyone who needs us. By taking part in Time for a Cuppa, you can help us recruit more Admiral Nurses which provide a lifeline to families. Although there is no cure for dementia, there is care.”
