On Thursday 7th May, we were invited to the Stone Alzheimer’s Club alongside Stone scooter club to present the money raised at our Fuel & Flavour Day.

This amazing club has been running for 19 years, offering a warm and welcoming space for people living with Alzheimer’s/Dementia and their carers. From tea, coffee and biscuits to chat, games, bingo, singing and entertainers – it’s a place full of smiles and support. We had the chance to sit in on a session, and it truly is something special. The volunteers are incredible, and you can see just how much it means to everyone who attends.

In the UK, around 900,000+ people are living with dementia, with numbers expected to rise to 1.6 million by 2040. Around 1 in 11 people over 65 are affected, making it a cause that touches so many families. 

We’re so proud to say we raised an amazing £867.69!!!!

This will help keep the club running for around 2 months. 

A huge thank you to everyone who came along, Stone Scooter Club, and the staff at Xtraweld for helping make this possible. If you’d like to join the Thursday “Drop In Club”, it runs from 10:00–12:00 at Christ Church Centre, Stone, ST15 8ZB. Everyone is welcome.
