Forget Me Not appeal: collecting in your local community

[HarrietD]

Alzheimer's Society will be collecting in over 450 Morrisons stores across Scotland, Wales and England during Dementia Action Week (15 – 21 May). There will also be collections in Belfast, Birmingham, Chelmsford and Leeds throughout this month.

By giving a couple of hours to collect at your local supermarket, station or town centre, you can make a big difference and help even more people living with dementia receive the support they need.

These collections are particularly important for getting to know people in your local communities, and letting people know who we are and that we're here to support people living with dementia.

If you're able to, please consider signing up

I was so pleased yesterday when we went into our local Topps Tiles branch to try to choose new wall tiles for our kitchen project underway - there was a 'Forget me not' collection tray with badges/pins and a little poster and collection box - all very prominently displayed. The guys too seemed very proud of it all.
All very uplifting.

Hello @HarrietD,

I would be happy to volunteer for other supermarkets we have in our area which are nearer to me. It seems like this appeal is only about Morrisons stores.

Received our instructions and t shirts today for the forthcoming 'Forget me not appeal' in our local Morrisons store, as part of Dementia Action week 2024. Looking forward to getting involved in our local community, and spreading the word!

@Mary 85 thanks so much for wanting to volunteer! Unfortunately these collections are only happening in Morrisons stores as we've teamed up with them for this appeal, but I know that isn't ideal if there isn't one near you. However, you can email our community fundraising team at community@alzheimers.org.uk to see if they have any other local opportunities.

Brilliant news that your t-shirts and instructions have arrived @Gosling! Really hope you enjoy it
