Dear Friends,
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us for the Walk for Dementia on World Alzheimer’s Day. Together, we raised £300 – a fantastic achievement, especially with our new location, route, and time, which we know may have caused some confusion or limited some walkers from previous years.
We are so grateful to everyone who showed up, walked, supported, and made the day so special. 💜
✨ A few very special thank-yous:
- To Lady Mayor Tracey Brennan for opening the event — and rolling up her sleeves with refreshments!
- To Tesco Abergele for kindly donating those refreshments.
- To Yr Hen Ysgol, which proved to be a brilliant venue.
- To Abergele TV’s George Frost and Carl Bishop, who captured the event beautifully and shared it on YouTube (view below).
- To Abergele Rotary, who generously volunteered to steward the walk.
- Most of all — thank you to our community for coming out and showing such kindness, solidarity, and support.

💭 We’d love your feedback to help us grow and improve:
What made you want to get involved in the Walk for Dementia?
How has dementia affected you? If first-hand, what could have been done to help you more?
What would you like to see more of in our community moving forward?
📅 Reminder: Our next Memory Café is tomorrow, 10am–12pm, at Yr Hen Ysgol.
Please come along for a cuppa, a chat, and to share memories — it’s a space where everyone belongs.
With gratitude,
Dementia Friendly Abergele Team
