You have probably read in earlier editions of Wendover News about the work of Wendover Dementia Support, how the volunteers in our charity help families and carers of people with dementia, and of course those with dementia themselves. The most visible element of that help is the weekly Monday Club Café.

Now for a word about how we depend on the vital and unrelenting need for financial support to keep the show on the road.

Every pound helps and there are so many ways to help. You can register with easyfundraising (where online shopping with a multitude of retailers will result in a donation coming to Wendover Dementia Support), or you can donate through JustGiving or the PayPal Giving Fund.

You may wish to remember us at special times, or set up a standing order to give a little on a regular basis. And don’t forget that if you are a UK taxpayer and wish to tick the Gift Aid box your gift will be increased by 25% when we make a claim to the taxman.

Our website wendoverds. org.uk/ gives more details, please have a look at it.

Many local people and organisations have been and continue to be most generous with grants and donations. To you we express our heartfelt thanks, please keep it up!

Thank you all for thinking of us and giving support.

Martin Thomas, Treasurer
