Help us win Home Retail Group Charity of the year vote

Published 23 February 2010

We are one of five shortlisted charities for Home Retail Group’s charity of the year and we need as many votes as possible from their employees. Voting is open from 22 February to 26 March.

Do you work at Home Retail Group (Argos or Homebase)?

This is a great opportunity that is worth at least £2 million over two years. In addition to raising vital funds this partnership will increase awareness of dementia and help towards removing the stigma still often attached to it.

Our partnership with the Home Retail Group will be known as The Care Well campaign and the money raised will be spent on a new initiative for local carers in communities across the UK and Ireland. The programme will provide information and advice, giving them the tools to provide better support for people with dementia.

Dementia is not a natural part of ageing; it is caused by diseases of the brain. Over time, walking, talking and even personality can be affected. A carer is often the single most important person in the life of a person with dementia.

Vote Alzheimer's Society and help carers Care Well in your local community.
