Brogan Group supports Alzheimer's UK!
Did you know that in the average time it takes to bake a batch of cakes, six people in the UK will develop dementia? It is now the leading cause of death in England and Wales, overtaking both cancer and heart disease.
We held a Cupcake Day at head office last month in order to raise some money to combat Alzheimer’s. Brogan Group are always looking for fun ways to involve employees in raising money for different causes throughout the year, such as the Race for Life that Brogan ladies run annually and Christmas Jumper Day.
Although Alzheimer’s Cupcake Day was on the 13th June 2019, that doesn’t mean that you can’t still fundraise or donate to the amazing cause.
- £50 could help Alzheimer’s Society Helpline team be there for five people, for five hours of in-depth support at a time of crisis
- £150 could pay for two people with dementia to attend Singing for the Brain sessions for one year, where they and their carers can come together for an hour each week to sing and dance with music
- £610 would pay for a Doctoral Training Centre to run for one day, helping up to either PhD researchers to carry out ground-breaking study in dementia research
