We are trying to gather some prizes for these events; prizes that will give a home carer some 'time out'; the chance to go shopping with a friend, or to enjoy a cream tea in a beautiful Cornish setting, or perhaps sit and enjoy a blockbuster movie at the cinema or relax and be pampered with a facial massage. Activities many of us enjoy regularly.

Dementia carers (all carers in fact) often have to give up work, spend all their time looking after someone else's needs. They can lose their individuality, feel isolated and lonely and their health often suffers. You can offer some support, even just a little, by giving them a gift that says "We recognise all that you do and here's something that we hope will allow you to relax and enjoy time out for an afternoon or a few hours".
We've had some fabulous prize offers already from St. Mellion Health Spa, Radio Cornwall, Hall for Cornwall and Trethorne Golf Club but we need a few more. If you are a business or an organisation based in Cornwall (or know anyone who is!) and can help a dementia carer by donating a prize for our Creative Spaces events then please contact me on 01726 222900
Thank you so much.
