The Stray Ferret Christmas Appeal is coming to an end – but we still need your help
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.
During the Christmas period, the Stray Ferret has been raising money to buy Dementia Forward a new minibus, which provides a lifeline to those struggling with dementia.
Our Christmas Appeal is coming to an end this Friday (January 5) but we still need YOUR help.
We’re still a long way off our target and, without the charity's vital minibus service, many people living with dementia in the Harrogate district run the risk of becoming isolated and alone.
It’s a saviour for so many families and for the carers that deserve a much-needed break from caring for their loved one.
The bus service takes those living with dementia on trips out.
We know times are tough – and January only adds to that strain – but please dig deep this week and donate whatever you can to our appeal. Every penny will go towards funding a new vehicle and helping to better the lives of those living with this awful condition.
Dementia Forward’s current bus is old and tired and urgently needs replacing. 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.
Click here to donate – you never know when you, your family or your friend may be in need of Dementia Forward’s help too.
