A Roast to Remember

We need your help

A Roast to Remember arose from the need to provide support to people living with dementia and to educate Australians in dementia awareness. We’re supporting people with dementia – and you can help us!

To date, an estimated 447,115 Australians were living with dementia. It’s the second leading cause of death in our country. Currently an estimated 250 people are joining the population with dementia each day. The number of new cases of dementia will increase to 318 people per day by 2025 – and without a medical breakthrough, 650 cases daily by 2056. In response to these alarming figures, Community Vision developed an innovative dementia fundraising campaign called A Roast to Remember.

A roast is a quintessential traditional meal that evokes family memories – something really important to those living with dementia.

In our first year (2018), we raised enough funds to purchase our community’s very first dementia bus. This is a major achievement and we couldn’t have done it without your support!

The community dementia bus is providing desperately needed respite to dementia carers, providing support and access to new technology for those living with dementia and bringing vital education into schools.

Now we’re raising more funds to keep the dementia bus rolling and expand services to all those in need, supporting the 33,300+ Western Australians currently living with dementia.

To raise these funds, Community Vision is inviting the whole community to participate in A Roast to Remember by getting friends, family and neighbours together to host a fundraiser dinner, purchasing our celebrity recipe book called ‘Recipes to Remember’, which features 22 familiar faces who share their recipes and their personal experiences with dementia.
