     Singing for the Brain

     We will be starting two Singing for the Brain groups in 2010.  The groups offer people with dementia

     and their carers a chance to take part in a structured activity that is carefully designed for those

     with memory problems - and lots of fun.  If you would like to come along as a participant or a volunteer, or to

     find out more please contact Stephany, and potential teachers can see our introductory information.

     Training Course for Carers

     Our next training course for carers will be at Leigh Park Hotel, Bradford on Avon, from February 11 2010.

     Six weekly sessions will give those looking after someone with dementia good quality information on the

     illness, how to deal with everyday situations and practical matters including finance and safe moving.

     Click here for a course programme and contact Stephany if you would like to attend.

     Alzheimer Cafes

      We will launch our second Alzheimer Cafe in Marlborough on Monday February 1 2010

       at the Castle and Ball hotel.  The speaker will be Clinical Psychologist Rik Cheston on

       Alzheimer's Myths and Fact.  If you would like to attend please contact Stephany on 01225 776481.

      Our cafes offer an informal meeting place where those attending can enjoy refreshments,

      listen to a speaker on an aspect of the illness and share their experiences in a relaxed and

      friendly setting.  The next West Wiltshire cafe is on February 11 at Fulling Bridge Farm, Heywood

      near Westbury.

      Remember a Charity

      We have joined forces with over 140 other charities in the biggest combined effort of its kind in the UK
      to  promote to the general public the need to remember a charity in their wills.

      The Campaign represents large and small charitable organisations from all sectors. The fact that so many      
      charities are pooling their resources and working together is a measure of how vital legacies are to the future
      of good causes in this country.

       At present 67% of the UK population supports charities, but only 4.3% include a charity in their will.
