Supporting Purple Angel Memory Cafe
Andrew Richardson, Director of Friends Helping at Home and Purple Angel Ambassador:
“We are pleased to be associated with Purple Angel having seen the positive effect that this network has. Purple Angel provide support and lots of information. Purple Angel provide MP3 players free of charge.
There’s been lots of great feedback from this initiative, listening to old favourites makes a positive difference.
I personally find dementia really scary as a progressive disease, so it’s good to know the support that’s out there and that there are ways of improving lives.
Purple Angel rely on lots of small donations. For example, a few pounds pays for the Memory Café that’s held every Saturday (except the first Saturday of the month) at Barton Baptist Church from 1.30-3.30pm”
The Livermead Street Party is an all-age family event with various activities with live music, a dog show, a “bake-off”, refreshments and much more. We hope to see you there.
