A wonderful event as always from the Bristol Dementia Action Alliance team, supported by Amanda one of our @ZurichInsUK volunteers 💜

[ZurichCommunityTrust @ZCTrust]

Zurich employees, Amanda and Mark, helped out at Bristol Dementia Action Alliance's 60s/70s disco, yesterday.

They recreated an old style sweet shop, including old-fashioned scales. We hear the Liquorice Allsorts and Jelly Babies went down a treat! 🍡 🍬 🍭

@TonysChocoUK_IE any coincidence that recalled products all contain rock salt!!? My partner just came downstairs with a hard glass like stone from within one of the small eggs from the box of Tony’s eggs! Guess what…salty! I think your rock salt is too ‘rocky’ & less salty!🧂

Great to see them being handed out @BBPSwindon. You’re very welcome as always 💙

We know they will do their upmost to ensure that the council meet their statutory obligation under the Care Act & Children and Families Act for the provision of carer assessments & carer breaks. Our thoughts are with the SCC team but also with carers & the cared for in Swindon.💙

[Mark Flay @Flayboy]

To anyone that has been supported by, worked with, volunteered for, or funded their work then this announcement is devastating news. Especially of course the carers in Swindon and those they care for.

[Mark Flay @Flayboy]

Unfortunately the council procurement/tender team have got things very wrong. Other charities are feeling this kind of pain too.

We will continue to work with Swindon Carers Centre over the coming months.

[Mark Flay @Flayboy]

As a partner of the charity Zurich Community Trust has been supporting them through these tough decisions and know that they have considered all options and done everything they possibly can to find a way to avoid this.
