We’ve had a few messages from people reporting that they’ve had reps from AlzScot attend at their home attempting to secure donations. We do not conduct any door-to-door or cold telephone fundraising, and we would not condone this taking place on our behalf.
Even more relevant today.

As we head into winter (and Christmas…)- there’s a strong corporate current pushing us to consume more & more. Like buying more stuff is what life is about & will bring happiness. Instead of basic security of peace, home, heating, food, job, health and close relationships.
Our Helpline is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week offering emotional support and information to thousands of people with dementia, families, friends and carers. Support the Helpline by hosting a Tea & Blether this Dementia Awareness Week ➡️ bletheralzscot.org

If you are shopping at @shopsilverburn next Thursday, why not pop by and see us. Our Dementia Advisors will be on hand to answer any questions you may have about dementia and we're delighted that the superb @WestertonMVC will be joining us between 12-2pm 💜
