Our Group has to raise £41, 000 this year simply to continue providing a service to people with dementia and their carers.
We do not pay fundraisers or directors and our admin is carried out by volunteers.
This means that every penny received goes directly into providing care.

Formed in 1990, The EK Dementia Carers Group is the only voluntary sector daycare provider for people with dementia in East Kilbride

We aim to:
Support people with dementia
Support Carers of people with dementia
