TIME FOR TEA
Age Concern Hampshire is calling on
budding bakers to raise funds for people
with dementia, as part of a week-long ‘Good
Old Fashioned Tea Party’ campaign.
Exchanging memories of times gone by with
family and friends is enjoyable for everyone,
but is especially beneficial for people with
dementia. Cake sales, sponsored teamaking at work and tea parties at home will
all help to raise much-needed funds for our
work.”
For more information and to request a ‘Good Old
Fashioned Tea Party’ fundraising pack, contact

Andrew MacKenzie said: "It's a real honour
to be asked to judge this competition which
is raising money for such a worthwhile
cause. I am really looking forward to looking
through the photographs from all the
budding bakers."
