FUNDRAISER FOR UKRAINE. HARBOURSIDE MARKET. THIS SUNDAY (10 APRIL).
Dear Wellingtonians and visitors to our lovely city:
The Ukrainian community and our supporters invite you to come and eat some delicious desserts and other baked goods AND help us support the people of Ukraine at the same time! A rag-tag team of bakers are coming to the famous Wellington Harbourside Sunday market this weekend!
We are selling a wide range of lovingly home-baked desserts and other delicious baked goods. All proceeds will go to humanitarian aid and medical support for the children and adults of Ukraine affected by the war (Ohmatdyt - ohmatdyt.com.ua... and Razom for Ukraine (razom means together in Ukrainian) - razomforukraine.org...).
We will be at the market from 8 am till 2 pm - Just look for the blue and yellow flags to find our stall.
The weather forecast for Sunday so far is looking good!
Please bring cash!
We thank Wellington City Council for it's kind support for this event.
Changing the conversation around dementia
Reducing stigma starts with the words we use, and shifting the way we talk about dementia is a powerful step forward. This World Alzheimer’s Month, Ryman is highlighting the importance of reducing the discrimination caused by stigma surrounding people living with dementia.
Caroline Bartle, Ryman’s Dementia Care and Innovations Lead, says that using appropriate language when referring to people with Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia can foster a more inclusive society. This not only benefits those experiencing cognitive decline but also their families and the wider community.
