A SPRING fair and Dickensian dress parade raised nearly £2,000 for charity.

Organiser Alzheimer’s and Dementia Support Services (ADSS) provides support to sufferers of dementia and their carers in Dartford, Gravesham and Swanley. Along with the usual prize draw and stalls, the fair held a parade of Dickensian dresses worn by staff, volunteers and friends of the charity at the St Johns Centre, in Meopham.

ADSS manager Carol Smith said: “It went really well. The whole day was lovely and everyone had a good time.” If you are interested in finding out about the services on offer by ADSS, or would like to volunteer, call 01474 533990.
