Sunday 2 July is the UK’s third annual Thank You Day, which in the last two years has brought over 15 million people together to strengthen bonds and create kinder communities. This year, to say a special thank you to unpaid carers, Music for Dementia has recorded a song with Tony Christie to get the nation singing. The track also features Alzheimer Scotland social media ambassador Graeme Sutherland, who cares for his mum Linda.

Coast Candle Co have partnered up with us in creating a ‘memory’ candle designed by people living with dementia around the theme of memories. The candle is available online to help raise money for Alzheimer Scotland.

Volunteers play so many roles at Alzheimer Scotland. Whether it's lending a helping hand at their local Centre, manning our 24h Freephone Dementia Helpline, or holding the bucket at a national collection, volunteers are essential to our work. This week, we want to say a huge thank you to every one of our generous and dedicated volunteers.
