Staff at Croydon-based Cleankill Pest Control raised £96 via an office raffle and donations during last year’s Christmas Jumper Day.
The day was an enormous amount of fun, with everyone in the office, even little Margot.
This amount was matched by Cleankill’s directors and then rounded up to £200.
Alzheimer’s is a progressive disease of the brain. It gradually spreads, causing greater damage and removing cognitive abilities. Currently, more than 520,000 people have Alzheimer’s in the UK, making it the most common cause of dementia.
Alzheimer’s Research UK was founded in 1992. It is now the country’s leading dementia research charity dedicated to the causes, diagnosis, prevention, treatment and cure of Alzheimer’s Disease. Their mission is to bring about the first life-changing dementia treatment by 2025.
Managing Director Paul Bates: “Dementia brings fear and heartbreak to families all over the country. I’d like to thank office manager Jeanette Gater for organising this event and raising funds to go towards beating this horrible disease.
“Cleankill’s directors are proud to match and then round up the money raised to make the final figure £200.”
