Dementia Wellington Fundraiser
Hi,
I'm organising a fundraising event for Dementia Wellington. I have been personally impacted by Dementia and currently care for my Mum full-time who has advanced Dementia. There isn't a lot of support for carers like me in the community and Dementia Wellington have been there for me time and time again, from providing support and education. One of their advisors is only a phone call away when I need some advice or just someone to talk to. Their education sessions have helped me get a much better understanding of what's going on with mum and the supporter groups have been invaluable for support and socialisation. The majority of their income, comes from fundraising events and due to Covid this has been impacted so I want to do my little bit to help this organisation keep doing the great work they are doing. All the money Dementia Wellington raises goes towards providing free services to local families, and to running dementia education programmes.
Below is the link to the event, which is a showing of the film The Father starring Olivia Colman and Anthony Hopkins. Your support would be hugely appreciated.

Poll: Is it rude to talk on the phone on a bus?
Buses can be a relaxing way to get home if you have a seat and enough space. However, it can be off-putting when someone is taking a phone call next to you.
