Mayor’s Charity Quiz a Winner

Over £250 for the Alzheimer’s Society was raised by teams at the Mayor’s Halloween Charity Quiz. The Council Chamber was full to capacity in a keenly fought contest that kept Quizmaster Brian Constable on his toes. Congratulations to the winning team “All the Kings Men” and to Brian and his team for working so hard to make the evening such good fun for everyone.

Funds raised will go to the Alzheimer’s Society and Liz Taylor of the local group said thankyou on behalf the Charity and spoke for a few minutes about their work in Dover.

Ang alkalde, Councilor Sue Jones said

I would like to thank the teams that supported this charity fundraiser for the Alzheimer’s Society that does such brilliant work to make life that little bit easier and less lonely for those living with dementia and those who care for them. Thanks also to Brian and the behind the scenes crew who worked so hard to give us an evening full of fun with some pretty hard head-scratching thrown in!

Ang Alzheimer's Society ay namumuhunan sa pananaliksik sa pangangalaga sa demensya, dahilan, lunas at pag-iwas. Ipinaglalaban nila ang mga karapatan ng lahat ng apektado ng demensya at nagpapalaki ng kamalayan, na nagsusulong para sa isang mas magiliw na lipunang dementia upang ang mga taong may kondisyon ay mabuhay nang walang takot at pagtatangi. Mula noong Hunyo 2017 higit sa 2 milyong tao ang nag-sign up para maging Dementia Friends at matuto tungkol sa maliliit na bagay na magagawa nila para suportahan ang mga taong may demensya sa kanilang mga komunidad. Ang isang pambansang helpline ng telepono ay nag-aalok ng impormasyon, payo at emosyonal na suporta sa lahat ng apektado ng demensya. Available din ang tulong sa linya at sa paglipas 200 libreng publikasyon. Lokal sa Dover ang Lipunan ay nagpapatakbo ng isang Dementia café, isang Peer Support Group at isang Activities Club.
