Charity of the Month: Dartmouth Memory Cafe

Every month, one of our team members nominates a charity of their choice to receive a £300 donation from The Daily Sparkle.

This month, Carla, our business development manager, has chosen Dartmouth Memory Cafe (run by Dartmouth Caring). She says: “My mum was diagnosed with dementia around eight years ago and this Memory Cafe has been a vital lifeline for her, but even more so for my dad who is her full-time carer. Local memory cafes allow people somewhere to go for advice and support on a regular basis. Carers can often feel isolated as it becomes more difficult to socialise. Having this service close-by has allowed my mum and dad to be with people in similar circumstances and share their experiences, both good and bad, without judgement. I’ll be forever grateful for everything they have done for my mum and dad.”
