Today is the first ever Give a Little Day and we would love your support.

Charities across New Zealand are under pressure, and this national day of giving is designed to help.

For today only, Givealittle is platform fees free, which means every dollar you give to us goes directly to our work.

If you wish to support us, you can donate here: https://givealittle.co.nz/org/alzheimers-manawatu

Thank you to everyone who donates today and has donated throughout the year.

Sometimes work is a piece of cake for Dementia Advisor Liam Walsh! He had the hard task of judging the Bupa Riverstone Retirement Village bake off recently which raised $120 for us during World Alzheimer's Month aka September. And of course he had a bit of a chin wag as well!
