Hi, Helen, thanks so much for supporting Dementia UK.I knew nothing about it until my Mother was diagnosed in 2014. She had worked until she was almost 80, active independant and as stubborn as a mule. The next few years were the worse of our lives. It's a dreadful disease and my heart goes out to anyone going through it. Dementia Uk helped us so much during this period and just to let any of your viewers know, that if they are a Marks and Spencer Sparks member, they can support , Dementia UK, through their, charity donation choice. Enjoy your videos, down to earth, no drama, "oh well whatever"... Lol.
So sorry about your Mum. it's a horrible disease. xx
Thank you so much for doing this Helen. My husband was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia a few years ago and just recently has had to go into a nursing home. All our retirement plans were scuppered and now it’s very likely that all our savings will be taken for his care. I’m only 69 and now trying to pick myself up and start having a life without him. I know he wouldn’t want me to be unhappy so I’m determined to live life to the fullest for us both. Love your channel. xx
Just wanted to send you a huge hug xx
Thank you @ruthcadman x
Sending you hugs as my brother in law died from this. Had not heard of this before. ❤
@@louisesmith2035thank you x
Sending you a hug as you try and have a life without your hubby by your side 😢I lost my amazing lovely hubby 2 years ago to cancer he was only 46 I was 64 !! I’m now 66 and it’s so very hard to try and have a future without them . Take care xxx
Hi Helen, Thankyou so much for your coffee morning supporting Dementia Uk. My mum passed away last September she would have been 99 years old I looked after my dear old mum for 10years I managed to keep her in her own house for the duration of her illness with hand picked carers and family the last 12 months have been hard I miss her so much so any help for supporting dementia is fantastic for family and carers. Thankyou Helen for all your effort. 😘 xxxx
I truly am sorry for your loss. I dread the day.
Well done for looking after her too, that's not easy xx
Bless you Helen for raising money for dementia . My husband who is 72 has just been diagnosed with Mild Cognitive impairment which may lead to Alzheimers so I have a lot ahead of me. I’ve just joined you only a few weeks ago and watch you all the time because it’s like visiting a friend watching you and is a great distraction for me. Thanks for everything you do. ❤
I am truly sorry to hear about your husband, it is such a cruel disease. Be sure to ask for help when you need it and look after yourself too.
I am glad you enjoy the channel, thank you for your kind comment xx
Congratulations on raising so much for Dementia. I cared for my mom for 7 years 24/7. It was heart breaking to see my mother change so much. In my opinion it's harder for the carer & family, my mother became very violent & aggressive. I wouldn't wish it on any one.
You did a wonderful thing, thank you for sharing. Xx
Well done you. That is so tough.
It's my pleasure xx
Hi Helen, I'm a Hel's Belle and just want to say WELL D0NE for raising so much money for dementia, I recently lost a friend to dementia, from diagnosis to losing her was only four years. So thankyou, it's a great video as always, you make everything you do look so easy. Keep doing what you're doing.x
That is so sad, but in a way good that she didn't linger on, as that can be unbearable to witness. xx
My mom is in the beginning stages. It is a tragic disease and I love the way you treat it with such respect to the patients.😊
I'm so sorry about your Mum.
Thank you xx
Hi Helen, what a truly wonderful, unselfish thing you did, well done! So much work for such a worthy cause! You truly are amazing! My sister passed away almost 2yrs ago, she was only 69 yrs old & was diagnosed with dementia when she was 67, we lost her too soon! Thank you for sharing your recipes and having a chat along the way...I enjoyed this very much! I truly love your channel, you are a good person...the world really needs more people like you in it! Have a beautiful rest of the week! Take really good care, stay well! Lots of love, Kathy x 💖
PS. (just wanted to mention and let you know that I had to create a new account...my old one was kdean.) Ontario, Canada
Hi, Kathy (I think)... That is very sad, much too young.
I'm glad you enjoy the channel, thank you for watching xx
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK AND YOU RAISED ALOT OF MONEY 😊 THANK GOD WE HAVE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD LIKE YOU. THANK YOU THANK YOU ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hi Helen well done for your efforts in raising a generous amount of money ! I lost my Dad to Alzheimer’s, It was so sad to see this strong man deteriorate and forget who his precious Granddaughter was.
Too sad.
Thank you. xx
What a great cause Helen.Something we all dread I think.
Hope all goes well and I’m sure your wonderful kindness will be very much appreciated 😊
Thanks so much xx
Helen I don’t know how you do it ,you make it look sooo easy I’d be like a headless chicken having a meltdown .Well done on the money you raised .Looking forward to your next one ,I love your channel ,thank you for sharing so much with us .take care Collette xxx
My pleasure Collette, thank you for watching xx
Thanks for another great video Helen and for the links to the recipes too. Congratulations on raising so much for Dementia UK. It's such a good cause. My darling Mum had Alzheimers and it was so heartbreakingly sad witnessing such an able, intelligent, fun and beautiful woman change so tragically. So, thank you so much for donating to such an important and worthy charity. ❤
So sorry about your Mum.
Thank you xx
Oh Helen what a beautiful thing to have done for dementia Uk. My mum had dementia and it is a terrible illness. I’ve mentioned before that I worked in a dementia unit and loved my job. Good for you Helen. I’m so pleased that you did so well. Thank you for caring.
My pleasure.
Thank you xx
Well done Helen 👏 I'm sure we all wish we could have been at your fundraiser and sampling those delicious looking goodies! I stayed watching all the way although I'm no baker myself. Had a chuckle when you gave Echo such a look!! 😂 Seriously though thank you Helen and everyone who contributes to Alzheimers research. A cruel disease that robs families twice of their loved ones, once when they're diagnosed and again when they're released from it. I speak from personal family experience after watching two of my sisters suffering with it. ❤ ❤
It's a truly horrible disease. Cruel in the extreme. xx
That looked wonderful, Helen, and congratulations on raising such a grand donation for Dementia UK. It would be great if a cure was found soon for this cruel disease. Thank you for sharing the recipes. 🌺
My pleasure, thank you xx
What a tremendous achievement Helen. Well done on raising so much money for dementia. Your time and effort that you have put into it is greatly appreciated. I am sure someone, somewhere knows somebody who is suffering with this illness. Well done you. TTFN X
Thank you. xx
Wow congratulations Helen that’s a fantastic amount to raise we’ll done you, some great raffle prizes by the looks of it. Not to mention your cakes all looked yummy. Dementia/Alzheimer’s is cruel and horrible way to end up. My dad had 4 sisters and 3 got Dementia very sad watching them go down hill and fast really . Dad is 93 and like your mum bright as a button thank goodness. Xx
It is a cruel disease.
Thank you xx
Well done! Thank you so much Helen for raising funds for Dementia UK. My Mum died 2 years ago from Alzheimers disease and it was a horrible slow loss. Your cakes look lovely, I’d have liked to come along but a bit of a trek from Torbay ☺️
Sorry about your Mum.
Thank you. xx
Wow wonderful effort by everyone concerned. Fantastic amount raised. All your hard work paid off. X
Thank you so much! xx
Well done Helen that was an enormous amount of money you raised 🎉🌟💐 you always make things look easy and take everything in your stride does nothing faze you thank you for taking us with you on your cake making mission x

Well done Helen, that is a marvellous amount to have raised. I am doing a sponsored knit for Dementia UK. I haven’t knitted for a while since I lost my husband! We lost our dad to dementia 23years ago. They didn’t know so much about it then. Thanks Helen. x
Good luck on the knitting.
Thank you xx

You are so welcome! xx
That’s so kind of you to Helen, I hope it all goes well on the day and you raise lots of money for this very worthy cause. 🥰xx
Thank you so much! xx
Hi Helen, thank you for raising money for dementia. My mum got diagnosed 5 years ago but it took over 3 years for that diagnosis.
It is such an awful disease. Thankfully my mum still knows who her children are. The thing I miss the most is our shopping days and family holidays. Unfortunately she had to be put in a care home as she is no longer mobile and I miss her so much but treasure the days I see her and all my memories of good times.
I am so very sorry about your Mum, so cruel. xx
Wow Helen, that was an amazing amount to raise. Loved the video and the cakes looked 1st class. Lots of hard work but for a wonderful cause, let’s hope there is a significant breakthrough in the near future. My sister is going through the early stages so a cause dear to my heart. Thanks to your dear mum for her helping you get set up. Your a trouper Helen…very kind and thoughtful. X
I'm sorry about your sister. Hope they can find something to help soon xx
Thank you Helen for raising money for Dementia UK. My mum has Alzheimer's. It is one of the most awful illnesses. Her dad and Brother also Alzheimer's. It terrifies me if I forget something or don't remember things. Every day I loose a little bit more of my mum. She is my best friend, and shopping pal. We still manage out occasionally and she lives very much in the moment.
So very sad. I'm sorry.
Thank you xx
Such a worthy cause. Lots of hard work put in by you before hand to produce what looked like a truly wonderful morning tea. Fantastic result.
It went really well xx
Those cakes looked so nice. Well done for all your work and effort, it was good to see the support you got to raise all that money x
Yes, thank you xx
Well Done Helen, what a fantastic amount of money raised for a great cause
Thank you. xx
Hi Helen,
That was amazing and thank you for raising so much money for dementia..
Wish we all could have been there, had to chuckle when echo was on!
And on !
🤣 thank you again Helen xx
Thank you. xx
Hi Helen thank you for your kindness to raising money for Dementia Uk, all the cakes look delicious 🎂x
Thank you xx
I would have loved to come to the coffee morning, the cakes looked scrumptious! Well done for all your hard work, great you raised so much money.
Thanks so much! 😊 xx
Well done . My mum was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s about 10 years ago. Luckily for us we got a good consultant who was spot on and got her medications right and reassured us that it was slow progressing. She’s now 91, living her best life with good days and not so good but we are reassured as she is in a good dementia care home who do care about their residents as individuals. The diagnosis is so important but it was a battle with long conversations with social workers but with perseverance and good research we got there. Good care and support is so I important, without it I have seen many families fall apart. Well done again . 🎉
I can understand about your Mum's good and bad days. My eldest sister has just turned 90 and has had Alzheimer's for about 7 years. She was the quiet studious one in the family but on her bad days she can be quite aggressive which is hard to watch because she never had an aggressive bone in her body. On good days her humour is still there which is great. She is getting the best care available at her care home. I just wish the staff at these homes were paid a better salary because it's a really difficult job as I'm sure you know. X
So difficult. My heart goes out to you.
Thank you. xx
Truly horrible, sorry about your sister. xx
Oh Helen bless you. My mum passed in 2016 with vascular dementia. Its a horrible disease. Wish i was nearer to support your coffee mirning, but donate to dementia scotland. Wishing you every success for your coffee mirning. ❤❤❤
Sorry about your Mum, so cruel.
Thank you. xx
Well done Helen. Not only have you raised a lot of money for research into dementia but you will have inspired others too.
Thank you xx
Wow Helen the cakes looked delicious,table settings lovely,and what a fantastic amount you raised,so glad it went so well ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you xx
Congratulations Helen, what an amazing amount of money for such a worthy cause!

It's the least I can do. xx

She is, the cake, however, was very dense..... wouldn't make it again.... xx
Wow ! Helen that is so wonderful ! What a huge amount to raise £740 ! A charity that is so worthy too. Dementia UK and Alzheimer's Society.are both so needed, sadly. What a lot of effort to make such lovely cakes , so well presented and some really wonderful donations for the raffle . When I lost my Mum last year , I asked for no floral tributes but divided the funds raised between Dementia UK Alzheimer's Society and two of Mum's loved animal charities.
So lovely of you Helen x
So sorry about your Mum.
Thank you. xx

Hi Helen, What a worthy cause. My lovely Mum had it for 10 yrs and when I was Lady Captain at my golf club I chose Dementia for my Charity. Your cakes looked amazing when completed and loved watching you making them and love how you “adapt” the recipes 🤣. Your Mum did a great job with the Tombola/Raffle and fab making £740 for the charity, and lucky people winning such gorgeous prizes🏴xx
Thank you. xx

Amazing result for all your hard work, well done 👏. My Mam has Alzheimers and it's tough both on her and us, her family. There is a new drug which appears to have been successfully trialled in the USA, too late for my Mam but at least it can offer hope for others in the future. Again, well done ❤️
Fingers crossed. Sorry about your Mam.

Well done on raising a great amount for Dementia. XXX My darling sis is 74 and has this horrible disease as well as having had a stroke. She lives in N.Ireland and i stay in Scotland so a phone call is our way of communicating and this is so hard as she cannot put words together now. She knows who i am but does not always understand what i am saying. So hard for her family as they are losing their wife and mum and i my sister. Thank you for raising all you have. ❤XXX Your cakes looked amazing.
Bless Billy for offering his services of pancake boy. 😊X
So sorry about your sister, it's very sad.
Thank you. xx
Wonderful work and you’ve raised a superb amount. Congratulations 👏🏻

Thank you xx
Lovely video to raise awareness about dementia. My mum in Australia was diagnosed in 2020 with vascular dementia and Alzheimer's.

Thank You for your video x
