This year’s Stray Ferret Christmas Appeal is to raise money for a minibus for Dementia Forward in the Harrogate district.
The appeal is kindly sponsored by Vida Healthcare.
Please give generously to support local people and their families living with dementia. Let’s not forget who needs our help this Christmas.
Today, we speak about the sponsor of Dementia Forward's ball.

Promedica24, which began in Warsaw, has offered a huge range of care services for more than 20 years, including specialised dementia and Alzheimer's care.
It helps those who would prefer not to move to a care home, but still require high-quality and compassionate support in their own home.
Many of the live-in carers and regional partners are trained to support those living with dementia, meaning they receive quality care from the comfort of their own home, as well as giving their families some much-needed respite.
Promedica24 has helped, and continues to help, more than 33,000 families across Europe and the UK to date.

Promedica24 kindly agreed to donate its sponsorship funds to the Stray Ferret Christmas Appeal, which aims to raise £30,000 for a new Dementia Forward minibus.
Debby Lennox, community liaison manager for Dementia Forward, said:
Dementia Forward is helping those living with dementia and their carers every week, but the effects of this disease are devastating for everyone involved.
That’s why we need your help to ensure that the vital minibus service continues, and that people carry on receiving the care they need.
Dementia Forward’s current bus is old and urgently needs to be replaced. The charity would seriously struggle to afford a new one, which is why they need your help to keep this vital service going.
Without it, many people living with dementia wouldn’t be able to access the help and support they need.
Every donation to our campaign will go directly to Dementia Forward, helping us hit our £30,000 target to buy the charity a new minibus and improving the lives of those living with dementia and the people around them.
Please click here to donate whatever you can – you never know when you, your family or a friend may be in need of Dementia Forward’s help too.
Let’s not forget who needs our help this Christmas. Thank you.
