A recent charity Big Breakfast Brunch organised by Rotary Saffron Walden has resulted in a £1,300.00 donation to Alzheimer’s Research UK. The donation was presented to local volunteer Elfreda Tealby-Watson at a recent Rotary meeting.
More than 200 people attended the Big Breakfast at Hadstock Village Hall, where guests enjoyed a hearty traditional English breakfast. The event was held primarily in support of Alzheimer’s Research UK.
Homemade marmalades and jams, prepared by Rotarian Felicity Hey, were also available and proved popular with attendees.
Elfreda spoke about the impact of dementia on individuals and their families, highlighting the urgent need for research to find a cure for dementia.
Senior Relationship Fundraising Officer at Alzheimer’s Research UK, Hannah Mumford said: “We’re incredibly grateful to everyone at Rotary Saffron Walden who helped make the Big Breakfast such a success. The fantastic £1,300.00 raised will help fund vital dementia research and bring us closer to a cure. Support from local communities like this plays a crucial role in powering the discoveries that will change lives.”
