One of our carers Sylvia who brings her husband to the dementia club decided to do an afternoon tea to raise money for Dementia Club UK.

A few members from the dementia club and other friends and families attended the afternoon tea which was organised and set up in Sylvia’s beautiful house in Totteridge.

It was a glorious sunny afternoon. As everyone arrived they were offered a Pimms.

There was so much food and cakes on the table kindly donated by M&S, Waitrose, Cake Create and Raphael’s. Some flower decorations were also kindly donated by Enchanted Floral Design. Casablanca Hire kindly donated all the tables, chairs, crockery and glassware.

Helen Tierney also attended and brought her harp. She played some lovely soft music for the whole afternoon which everyone enjoyed listening to. The afternoon sunshine also made it possible for everyone to enjoy the garden.

Alex made a speech to welcome everyone and introduced Lisa to also say a few words. It was a very successful afternoon which everyone really enjoyed.

I would like to thank the host Sylvia for kindly offering to use her house for this fundraising event. I also want to thank Alex her daughter and other family members for organising and working so hard to make this a successful event.

Alex will be attending the next Finchley Memorial Hospital dementia club on Wednesday 25th September to present a cheque to Dementia Club UK for the amount raised.
