Bribie Island Croquet Club Fun Day Fund Raiser Saturday 2nd November 2019
November 2, 2019 @ 10:30 am - 4:30 pm
Bribie Island Croquet Club is holding its annual fund-raising event on Saturday 2nd November 2019 with all funds raised going to the Bribie Island Dementia Support Group.
The Dementia Support Group is self-funded and its members are primarily made up of carers new and long term, supporting loved ones with dementia at home and transitioning into nursing home care.
Dementia can come in many forms and for carers can be extremely stressful, lonely and socially isolating.
The group offers a safe and supportive environment for carers to share their concerns and feel they are not alone.
It also provides information about government entitlements and other supports available in the community.
The group meet on the 1st Monday of the month for lunch and on the 3rd Monday for a meeting with invited guest speakers and an opportunity to share their concerns, ideas and frustrations with other carers.
Money raised will assist the group to provide information and raise community awareness about support available to carers and people with dementia.
Simone Wilson. Member for Pumicestone is the Patron for the Dementia Group.
The Bribie Island Croquet Club is planning a fun day where the entire community can be involved.
No prior croquet experience is required by participants.
The fun day will run from 10.30 am to 4.30 pm and will begin in the morning with a range of fun croquet activities.
A sausage sizzle will be held from 11.00 am with the community club challenge in the afternoon.
There will be raffles with great prizes, a trash and treasure market stall and a yummy afternoon tea available.
