The state of my office at the moment reflects how much is going on at BRACE. It gives a hint at the many ways people can help us in the fight against dementia.
I have boxes of items to be taken to the meetings we are holding in Frome and Salisbury next week, and a third for an all-day event next Friday where we are the supported charity.
There are then more boxes, this time containing our 2013 calendar, one of which I have to take to St Mary Redcliffe Church in the morning.
Clogging up a bit more of the room is some computer hardware that we were kindly donated by Bristol University. We’ve started to replace our ageing computers and the university has helped us with the first two. We are on the lookout for more.
Just before I typed this, I posted a link on our website telling people how they could help us by sending mobile phones or printer cartridges for recycling.
Then a colleague came in with a query about the registration deadline for the Bristol Half Marathon on Sunday fortnight. (It’s still worth contacting us over the next 48 hours if you want to run – we have a couple of Gold Bond places left.)
There’s a lot more than this going on, of course, but the last few minutes and the temporary congestion in my office just shows how easily you can help us. Come to a meeting, ask your employer to support us at an event, buy a calendar, run for sponsorship or just donate your old mobile. For even more ways, have a look at our website. If you want to help, we can make it possible.
