Fundraising Events

The Purple Party which was held at the Jubilee Hotel was a huge success. Thank you to everyone who contributed and volunteered for the event. A big thank you also to all the local businesses and families who donated prizes for the raffle, tombola and silent auction.

We raised over £4500 which will make a huge difference to people with dementia and their families living with dementia in the West Dunbartonshire area.
