Time For a Cuppa 2017

Dementia UK are on the lookout for businesses of all sizes to support their work – and the next big event is Time For a Cuppa week from March 1-8.

Whether you want to jog, run, trek, cycle or just drink tea with your colleagues, there are many opportunities to get involved in fund-raising for the dementia charity. You can check out what’s involved at the Dementia UK website.

Whatever you choose, or if you prefer to take on your own challenge, the charity has a team of people who are able to support you every step of the way, from the starting blocks to the finish line!

All of the cash raised will help Dementia UK to ensure there is a specialist Admiral Nurse for everyone who needs one. The funds also support the families involved, as well as the patient. Some of the cash helps to staff a helpline which is open seven days a week for anyone with questions or concerns about dementia.

You can go online to order a free Time for a Cuppa tea party pack, which contains everything you need to make your event run smoothly.

Businesses are encouraged to explore the ways which they can support Dementia UK, including:

• Making dementia life their charity of the year
• Funding an Admiral nurse
• Sponsoring an event
• A payroll giving scheme
