A great second degree ceremony was held at London Haven lodge on Saturday that was followed by a Trafalgar presentation given by WBro. Chris Moorley. The proceeds of the raffle were given to the Quarrymen, towards their Christmas Toy Run.
However, this year they are collecting for the University Hospitals Dorset in particular their dementia wards. Dementia toys are one way that can help stimulate dementia sufferers.
Dementia is not a single disease. It’s an overall term to describe a collection of symptoms that one may experience if they are living with a variety of diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease. Diseases grouped under the general term “dementia” are caused by abnormal brain changes. Dementia symptoms trigger a decline in thinking skills, also known as cognitive abilities, severe enough to impair daily life and independent function. They also affect behaviour, feelings and relationships.
