Leonardo staff raise £11,000 for Alzheimer Scotland
Members of Leonardo’s Edinburgh Charity Committee presented a cheque for £11,000 to Alzheimer Scotland’s Abby Parkhouse at Crewe Toll yesterday. The cheque represents the culmination of Leonardo employees’ magnificent fundraising efforts over the past year.
Accepting the cheque, Abby thanked Leonardo employees and said: “It’s incredible that the Leonardo employees have managed to raise so much money in such a short space of time. It will make an amazing difference to our day care bungalow based in Midlothian.”
The Bungalow, Alzheimer Scotland’s day care centre in Bonnyrigg, offers friendship, support and stimulation to help maintain and restore the sense of self-esteem, confidence and dignity of people with dementia. It gives people with dementia the opportunity to socialise, and a chance to take part in a programme of activities to suit individual service users, which includes physical exercise, craftwork, quizzes, mental stimulation and reminiscence in a friendly, supported and safe environment.
