💜 What an incredible community!

A huge thank you to our wonderful sponsors, community partners and everyone who came along to our Memory Walk on Saturday.

Together, we raised over $8,000!

These funds will help Alzheimers Whanganui continue supporting people living with dementia/mate wareware and their whānau in our community.

We have a pretty amazing community! 💜

The Earlier You Know, The More You Can Do 💜

Today is World Alzheimers Day, and this year’s message is clear: a dementia diagnosis matters.

Knowing sooner can help people living with dementia/mate wareware and their whānau better understand what’s happening, access support, make plans, and focus on living well.

At Alzheimers Whanganui, we believe connection matters.

- Stay connected.
- Keep talking.
- Include people living with dementia in everyday life.
- Reach out to someone who may need support.

Let’s create a community where people living with dementia/mate wareware and their whānau feel seen, valued, included and supported.

The earlier you know, the more you can do.
