Co-Founder Rosas Mitchell

In July Helen and Daniel caught up with one of our founding members, Rosas Mitchell. She told them all about how it was founded 30 years ago, what it was like in the beginning and how it’s changed so much to meet the growing needs. Her job when she started was to provide innovative care and she had a clean slate to use to create that. She said “We did amazing fun things, such special memories. It makes me well up thinking about what a strong position Town Break is in.”

Since 1992, our name and logo have changed. But the one thing that hasn’t changed, nor will it, is our ethos and commitment to people living locally that are affected by Dementia.

DAVINA AND DANIEL GO SKYDIVING!

As many of you already know, our AMAZING team members Daniel and Davina took to the skies to jump out of a plane all in aid of our amazing cause. What were they thinking I hear you say!!?? Well they absolutely loved it and both said that the minute they touched down on the ground, they wanted to get right back up and do it all again. They are incredible, inspirational people and for their bravery raised a MASSIVE £3000.

We have a phenomenal video of Davina's journey from start to finish that day, so grab a cuppa, sit down, relax and hit the button below to watch her skydive.

THE STIRLING HIGHLAND HOTEL

We are delighted to announce a local charity partnership with The Stirling Highland Hotel.

Set within the beautiful, historic City of Stirling, the Stirling Highland Hotel is a charming Victorian building and boasts a fascinating observatory that perfectly reflects the rich heritage of the area — known as the gateway to the Scottish Highlands.

Daniel Keane, Strategy and Engagement Officer at Town Break said: “This important partnership with The Stirling Highland Hotel will help Town Break become more effective and efficient in everything that we do, and ultimately will improve the delivery of our local community services. It’s a demonstration of charity being at the heart of the local community.”

We look forward to working with The Stirling Highland Hotel and making a big difference to people affected by dementia whilst promoting positive awareness. This local charity partnership will initially be for a period of one year. We look forward to working with such a well known establishment.

Playing the Lottery

You can now support Town Break through the Stirling Community Lottery!

Stirling Community Lottery is an exciting weekly lottery that raises money for good causes in Stirling. All good causes supported by the lottery will benefit Stirling and its residents.

Play the lottery, support Stirling - it’s that simple!

Tickets for the lottery cost just £1 a week. Each ticket has a 1 in 50 chance to win a prize each week, with a top prize of £25,000! That’s a better chance of winning than the National Lottery or the Health Lottery.

Hugh Fraser Foundation

We are honoured and so grateful to announce that we have been awarded £5000 a year for 3 years from the Hugh Fraser Foundation. Without support from foundations like this, we wouldn’t be where we are today.

The foundation makes donations to registered charities working in many different sectors including medical research, hospitals, education, organisations working with the young and aged, the handicapped and the under-privileged and arts organisations.
