Jeanette raises cash for Alzheimer's

Carmarthenshire County Council’s Telecare manager Jeanette Munn is pictured presenting a cheque to Maureen Evans of the West Wales Alzheimer’s Society (pictured left).
Jeanette was offered a donation, which she could give to a charity of her choice, after speaking at an event organised by Tunstall – a major supplier of the council’s Telecare equipment.
Jeanette felt that the West Wales Alzheimer’s Society could benefit from the donation, and this was particularly fitting as many members of the society rely on the Telecare service to help them live independently at home.
Maureen said she was thrilled to receive the donation, which will be used to support services for people with dementia, and their carers, in the Carmarthenshire area.
The council’s Telecare system is used to provide assistance to vulnerable residents. Various sensors are used to detect when a person may need assistance, and Careline staff are able to react immediately – calling for help from neighbours, family or the emergency services.
