Christmas Appeal
Help take the pressure off dementia carers
Dementia carers are under pressure every day of the year. Sometimes Christmas can feel like yet another stress. With your support we can help dementia carers cope better at Christmas, and every other day too.
Your support can help dementia carers cope
Christmas can simply become another stress as carers manage their day-to-day caring responsibilities as well as their own, and other people’s, expectations about what will happen over the festive period.
Our team of specialists are here to help dementia carers cope, whether this is at Christmas time or any other day of the year.
We listen to carers and can help them plan what they can do to reduce pressure on themselves.
It’s only thanks to your support that we can offer dementia carers free counselling, advice and resources to help them cope better at Christmas, and every other day too. Sofie Fitz, Public Fundraising Manager, Dementia Carers Count
