1987 Foundation Event 

On Thursday 18th May, during Dementia Action Week 2023, BRACE hosted our annual event for the 1987 Foundation at the University of Bristol Botanic Gardens. Upon arrival, members of the 1987 Foundation mingled while enjoying tea, coffee and snacks. Everyone then embarked on an informative tour of the gardens, where we were educated on the history of the plants and wildlife in the Botanic Gardens.

After the tour, everyone relaxed and conversed over a delightful afternoon tea to round up an incredible day in the sunshine. Thank you to everyone involved, particularly each member of the 1987 Foundation who have pledged a future gift their will to BRACE. Together we will defeat dementia.

A huge thank you to Harold Stephens who sponsored the day, and continue to support BRACE.
