Essex-based law firm, Palmers Solicitors, has taken on the ‘price of dementia’ in 2024, raising £2,155 on behalf of the Alzheimer’s Society with a successful charity raffle.
This Dementia Action Week (13 to 19 May), the firm campaigned to raise awareness of the effects of dementia and support the charity in its fight for social, financial and medical support for those diagnosed with the condition.
The campaign culminated in a highly anticipated raffle draw at the Phoenix Bistro, Basildon on Friday 17 May.
Plenty of fantastic local businesses supported the event with donated prizes, including Richard Luckin Chartered Accountants, Rowland Hall, Matthew Douglas Ltd, Sandra Connington HR Consultancy and Clive Emson Land & Property Auctioneers.
Our solicitors said: “It’s been a great experience, organising this event and seeing how the whole community can come together for a good cause.
“In the course of private client work, we’ve seen the impact that dementia can have on individuals and families. We wanted to take the opportunity to do our bit for those affected, and raise funds and awareness of the ‘price of dementia’.
“Congratulations also to our lucky winners, and thank you to everyone who made this event possible and campaigned to support those with dementia and their families.”
