This week (18-24th May) is the Alzheimer’s Society Dementia Awareness Week and this year’s theme is all about opening up (not bottling it up) and encouraging people who are concerned about dementia to talk to the Alzheimer’s Society.
As a charity, the Alzheimer’s Society are encouraging others to help them promote awareness of dementia and to raise vital funds to ensure that their valuable work of supporting people affected by dementia continues.
On Tuesday 20th May (10-12am) BUDI, with support from SUBU and the BU Baking Society, will hold a cake sale in the Atrium (Talbot Campus). Please come along and find out more about our work and purchase a tasty treat in aid of this worthy cause.
If you would like to donate cakes to be sold on the stall or have any questions please email mheward@bournemouth.ac.uk.
