“We had some amazing cakes and biscuits to offer residents of Wilmslow and it was lovely to meet and talk to so many local people, many of whom have been affected by dementia in some way.”

Nicki Nalton, community fundraiser for Alzheimer’s Society, said: “We’d like to say a big thank you to the Carefound Home Care team for their very generous donation.”

"The coronavirus pandemic has been devastating for families. People affected by dementia need us now more than ever but the pandemic has hit us hard financially, despite an unprecedented demand for our services.”

Money raised by the cake stall will help the charity to reach and support more people through services like their dementia connect support line.

Carefound Home Care is currently recruiting care assistants in Wilmslow, Alderley Edge and Knutsford and live-in carers across Cheshire.
