Thank you to all who came to Mum's Service at Bradwell Crematorium today, 21 January 2026, and donated so generously to our chosen charity...
Approach Dementia Care (now part of The Douglas Macmillan Hospice) helped us and my Mum in the early years after Mum was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. And of course not forgetting the wider Dougie Mac organisation who provide the most wonderful service and support to many individuals and families across the area.

Today we raised £240 in cash and a cheque on top (which will be handed over to our local Dougie Mac shop in Bradwell).
Thank you to all once again.

Kindest Regards,

Ian Morris
