Alzheimer's Cupcake day
Basepoint isn't only about business. We also want to use our space as a hub for the local community, raising money for good causes and bringing people together
On Thursday the 13th June 2019, Bluebird Care (Evesham) hosted a bake sale in our business lounge to raise money for the Alzheimer's Society. According to their webite:
In the average time it takes to bake a batch of cakes, six people in the UK will develop dementia. It is now the leading cause of death in England and Wales, overtaking both cancer and heart disease.
Your Cupcake Day can help to fund pioneering research, crucial support services and vital care. By hosting your day, you are uniting with us in the fight against the UK’s biggest killer.
Until the day we find a cure, because of Cupcakers like you, Alzheimer's Society can continue to be here for anyone affected by dementia - wherever they are, whatever they're going through.
Cupcake Day has raised £2.7 million since 2016 – let’s make this year our biggest yet!
Those figures are disturbing and impressive. £2.7m to help with research and care cannot be sniffed at. And all it takes is a bit of time to either bake or buy- or both.
At Basepoint Evesham we are keen to open up our space to support fantastic causes such as this. If you have ideas then please do contact us and we will happily try and make it happen.
