£340.30 - grand total raised from our charity event for Alzheimer's Society THANK YOU 😊

06/12/2024

The total so far from last nights event is £311.30.
You gave £220.30 in cash for Art Materials, and £90 via our JustGiving page.
The fundraising page is still open for a while, and I will round up what is left of the donated art supplies soon and if anyone is in need of more stuff we will have the cash donations jar at Analog if you want to call in for something.
We want to thank the Miller family for coming to the event and for donating the art materials to us - we hope that this has made a positive outcome for those in need.
Huge thanks go out to every brave soul who faced the weather conditions and came to Analog to support us and give their money to Alzheimer's Society.
What a success, you are incredible ❤️🩷🧡💛💚💙🩵💜

Hi friends!
Just a few pointers about this evening's charity event.

We're open 6 until 9 pm.

The address is
Analog, Unit 16 Victoria Mill,
Victoria Street,
Accrington,
BB5 0(zero)PG
Look for Tysons Fitness Factory, and we are right below!

Parking is free and right outside on the street.

There will be refreshments.

Take whatever you need from the art materials, and donate what you can afford. We are helping artists as much as the named charity.

Analog is not funded and its a working space for creative people. The mill floor we occupy doesn't have heating, so please wrap up warm. Expect what you should from a real workshop. You will come across dust, tools, and cables etc from our lighting and working areas.

Scorched Earth Industries, Paint Kitchen and It's Robert Parkinson's Studio will be there to show you around - you are more than welcome to view our work spaces, and you're also welcome to purchase from us too, but that is not a requirement. We will be happy just to see you, as always. Please invite friends or bring others - anyone is welcome to come and take the Art Materials on offer for donations to Alzheimer's Society.

Tonight is a one-off opportunity. Once the items go, we won't get more. It may be best to arrive early if you can, if you're in need of specific items.😊

Lastly here's an article about how creativity has helped people with Dementia, taken from the Alzheimer's society website, which seemed quite appropriate for this evening.

We invited people with dementia to send us pictures of things that they’ve created – here’s what you sent us…

We have smashed through our target.
Artists - do you need paper, pencils, paint, sketchbooks etc?
Tomorrow between 6 and 9 pm we open Analogs doors to show you our available items and supply refreshments - we really hope to see you there!
