Funds will help the charity continue working to support those with dementia and their family members and carers too.

Money raised for Ladybrook Enterprises will enable the Mansfield charity to refurbish part of its building to create a dementia hub, making it easier for patients with dementia to have a safe and recognisable place to go for appointments.

Ladybrook Enterprises offers many activities and services to help support the community, and improve the mental and physical health of participants.
