    Meet our Second Community Cashback winners, Younger People with Dementia! SPAR Upper Bucklebury's independent retailer, presented the charity with a cheque for £5,000. This donation is part of SPAR's Community Cashback Scheme, and it highlights our dedication to nurturing our local neighborhoods and supporting local people and local good causes. YPWD, established in 2012, has been instrumental in providing specialised support for individuals diagnosed with young onset dementia, as well as their families and carers, across Berkshire and beyond. Our Independent retailers are rooted in their local communities and are always proud to support initiatives that have an impact on their local neighborhoods. Caroline Blanchette, Joint Director of YPWD says, “We were delighted to hear that we had been awarded £5000 from SPAR, this is so amazing. It is only through support from organisations like yourselves that we are able to continue the work that we do supporting those living with a diagnosis of young onset dementia. Thank you.” #CommunitySupport #DementiaAwareness #Charity #SPARCommunityCashback
