☕ Make Time for a Cuppa ☕

This May, why not turn a simple cuppa into something meaningful?

Time for a Cuppa is Dementia UK’s annual tea party fundraiser — a chance to come together with friends, family or colleagues, share cake and conversation, and raise vital funds for families affected by dementia 💙

✨ It’s easy to get involved:
🫖 Pick a date
🍰 Host a tea party at home, work or in your community
💷 Ask for donations to support specialist dementia nurses

Every cuppa poured helps provide life-changing support to families facing dementia — because no one should face it alone.

So pop the kettle on, gather your people, and make your brew count ☕💬

When we receive a donation from a UK taxpayer, we're entitled to claim an extra 25% paid on that donation. It's called 𝗚𝗶𝗳𝘁 𝗔𝗶𝗱.

Gift Aid is a tax relief for charities in the UK to increase donations – at no extra cost to the donor!

The donor must have paid UK income tax or capital gains tax that tax year, at least equal to the tax that we will reclaim on the your donation(s)

Just tick the box on your donation form for us to claim - It's as easy as that!

Happy National Earth Day 🌍💚

At The Mary How Trust, we recognise the strong connection between a healthy planet and our own health and wellbeing. The environment around us plays a vital role in the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the spaces we use to stay active and connected.

Spending time outdoors, whether it’s a walk in nature or simply enjoying some fresh air, can boost both physical and mental wellbeing. Taking small steps to care for our planet—like reducing waste or choosing sustainable options—also supports healthier communities for everyone.

This Earth Day, let’s look after our world as we look after ourselves. 🌱
