THIS Christmas 850,000 people will be living with dementia. My mother died with the condition, so I know from personal experience the devastating impact dementia has on everyone touched by it – and how important it is to know that support is out there when you need it.

On December 6, Alzheimer’s Society will have the opportunity to fundraise for people living with dementia and we need your help to raise as much as possible by joining one of our teams collecting money at Homebase stores across the UK.

If you can spare just a few hours to help us collect, please get in touch by calling 0845 678 7678 or visit www.alzheimers.org.uk/homebasecollection. Thank you so much for your support.

Sir Tony Robinson Alzheimer’s Society Ambassador
