DEMENTIA Friendly Keighley has received a £1,000 donation.

The organisation is this year's chosen cause of David Gallagher Funeral Directors, in Skipton Road, Utley.

David and Adele Gallagher and their staff also attended an information session and are now Dementia Friends.

"The work of Dementia Friendly Keighley has brought to the forefront of the community's minds the importance of awareness of those living with dementia and the support that both they and their carers need," said Mrs Gallagher.

Sandra Kelly, of Dementia Friendly Keighley, said she was delighted at the support from the firm.

She added: "We want Keighley to become a dementia friendly area and enable our residents with the condition to live well for longer in their own community.

"Spreading dementia awareness within the town to companies such as David and Adele's will enable us to achieve this."

The company has again sited a Christmas tree at the front of its premises, with each light representing someone it has cared for this year.

"We want our clients to know that we are remembering them during what may be a difficult season," said Mr Gallagher.
