In September Harris Hogg initiated an Alzheimer’s awareness fortnight at the Club, in support of Alzheimer’s Awareness month.
With the support of the members a total of £125 was raised, after discussion it was agreed that this should be donated to Beyond Dementia (formerly Alzheimer’s Support) in Devizes. They were chosen as several people from Calne attend their sessions and it was a local group that provides activities for members who fall within their remit.
As a result I recently visited them me up with members and watch a music activity taking place, I met Becci the manager and Janet, chair of the trustees. There is no doubt that our donation was well received and will go towards funding activities of their members.
Now a photograph, for once including yours truly.
