As part of the Movember movement, Mr Roy Carpenter organised a funding campaign for Alzheimer Portugal – the Algarve Branch, raising a fabulous €1000.
Thanks to the generosity of local groups such as Freemasons of the Lodge of Peace and Harmony and friends, this sum will go a long way towards the work on the new facilities, which will enable more activities and services to be developed for people with Dementia, their families and carers.
In addition to providing information on caring for people with Dementia, legal and social support, Alzheimer Portugal Algarve branch runs various specific activities for carers and/or people with dementia, such as information and training sessions, Café Memória, Musical(Mente) and psycho-educational groups for carers.
For information, advice or to get involved with the Alzheimer Portugal – Algarve Branch, please call 965 276 690 (national mobile network) or send an email to: geral.algarve@alzheimerportugal.org.
