Midsummer Memories raise over £8,000 in fundraising event for Alzheimer's Society

Sue Musslewhite and her dedicated friends and family from the Wickham area have rallied together to put on an glittering evening of Midsummer Memories. The event was held on Saturday 23 June at the beautiful and very exclusive Webbsland Vineyard and has raised over £8,000. The evening included a luxurious home made five course meal, wine tasting lead by a wine expert and performances from local sopranos and musicians including Andrew Knights who runs our Alzheimer's Society Music Groups in Hythe, New Milton and Romsey.

Sue Musslewhite, Midsummer Memories, Event Organiser said:

'We believe it is so important to raise awareness of dementia and to raise funds for Alzheimer's Society to fund local services and research in order to support people living with dementia and their loved ones.'

Thank you very much to Sue, her friends and family for organising their event and being so enthusiastic about Alzheimer's Society and raising awareness about dementia. We would also like to thank the Owners of Webbsland Vineyard for their generosity and support with this event. As a charity we rely on events like these to raise vital funds to support people to live well with dementia today and funds research to find a cure for tomorrow.
