East Kilbride's ONLY voluntary sector dementia day-care provider. www.dementiacarers.co.uk/donate In total, an estimated 900,000 people in the UK have dementia.

Our Group has to raise over £50,000 each year simply to continue providing a service to people with dementia and their carers. We do not pay fundraisers or directors and our admin is carried out by volunteers. This means that every penny received goes directly into providing care. Formed in 1990, The EK Dementia Carers Group is the only voluntary sector daycare provider for people with dementia in East Kilbride

We aim to:
Support people with dementia
Support Carers of people with dementia
Promote awareness
Provide personalised, quality care. It is estimated that there are 90,000 people in Scotland with dementia, and that the figure will DOUBLE in one generation! There will be over 1.6 million people with dementia in the UK by 2040. We are the only charity in East Kilbride providing this kind of service! Please help us - make a difference.

Today is national coffee day ☕️💙

Have you noticed the price of a cup of coffee gradually increasing over the last few months? And also the price of petrol? This has had a massive impact for us.

It is harder and harder to afford our outings and so they have become fewer and fewer. We cannot go on the wonderful jaunts that give so much pleasure to our service users.

A trip to a local café for tea and cake cost around £45 (for food and travel) and a trip to Troon for fish and chip is over £60! Our funding doesn’t cover this – could you help pay for the very outings that make our service special?

A little snippet into what daycare looked like this week…

Starting off with enjoying a cuppa, toast and a chat in the morning ☕, some puzzles and jigsaw 🧩

A delicious home cooked lunch 😋 more tea and biscuits to follow of course 😋

A relaxing afternoon with hand massages, painting some nails while listening to music and having a singalong 🎶 Simply spending time together and sharing a few laughs — there’s always something going on😃

Rainy days don’t stop the fun at day care 🌧️💙
