Pam Grosvenor, in red waistcoat, hands a cheque for £800 to Carol Elliott, support services manager of the Portsmouth and district Alzheimer’s Society. Looking on are some of those who attend the weekly Singing for the Brain sessions at Buckland community centre.
THE CLUB has given £800 to the Portsmouth branch of the Alzheimer’s Society.
Every Friday morning the charity holds a Singing for the Brain session, a fun and stimulating social activity for sufferers of dementia.
The money handed over by a former club president Pam Grosvenor was raised by raffling a hand-made patchwork quilt at the SIGBI conference.
As well as the quilt, other prizes in the raffle were a cushion cover, a table runner and a carrier bag, all in patchwork.
Around a dozen club members had met once or twice a month for about two years to create the quilt.
