Dementia Action Week

Dementia Action Week 2023 saw Horsham Central team up with The Alzheimer's Society at Orchard Surgery to organise a bake sale in order to raise funds for The Alzheimer's Society.

With the help of Orchard's Patient Participation Group (PPG), we raised over £315 which is fantastic!

If you would like to learn more about our PPGs or to join and have your say, please visit your surgery's website.

To find out more about some of the excellent work The Alziemers Society carries out, visit www.alzheimers.org.uk

We'd like to thank all those who baked, came to support and donated.
