Your cuppa can change lives
By the time you’ve boiled your kettle, another person will have developed dementia. Over 944,000 people in the UK are affected by the condition – and if someone you love is living with dementia, you’re living with it too.
At Dementia UK, we believe every family facing dementia should have the support of a specialist nurse – but right now, we can’t reach everyone who needs us.
Making Time for a Cuppa can change that. We need you to make, bake and brew to raise vital funds for families facing dementia.
