Take part in Dress Up for Dementia and raise money for charity

Staff at the charity hub at Sage House will be dressing up as animals, and supporters are encouraged to team up with work colleagues, sports club or group of friends and make a donation – and share their photos on social media with the #D4D hashtag.

September is also World Alzheimer’s Month, and Dementia Support has been able to reopen limited face-to-face services at Sage House with Covid-safe processes in place.

Martha Pusey, head of Sage House, said: “We have been following Government guidance closely and after completing our risk assessment have developed procedures to ensure all our customers visiting Sage House can access services in a safe manner.”

To make a £5 donation by text simply text D4D to 70085. To donate another amount simply text D4D plus the amount you would like to donate to 70085 e.g D4D3 to donate £3. (Texts cost £1 plus one standard rate to donate but do not wish to receive marketing communications, text D4DNOINFO to 70085).
