We’re incredibly proud to announce that, thanks to the amazing efforts and generosity of our team, SAM has raised a total of £10,000 for the Alzheimer’s Society during our F25 financial year.
Alzheimer’s Society is a charity close to many of our hearts, and this donation represents not just a fantastic fundraising achievement, but a collective commitment to helping those affected by dementia.

A Message from Alzheimer’s Society
Alzheimer’s Society is the UK’s leading dementia charity, working to create a world where dementia no longer devastates lives. They provide essential support for those living with dementia today, while funding life-changing research to transform tomorrow.
Dementia is one of the biggest health and social challenges of our time. Over 900,000 people in the UK are currently living with the condition, including more than 24,000 individuals in Northern Ireland. Many remain undiagnosed, facing their journey alone. Thanks to charitable partnerships and community support, Alzheimer’s Society is working hard to change this.
“We want to extend a huge thank you to everyone at SAM Mouldings for contributing to our partnership, making it such a tremendous success. Your generosity and support have helped raise awareness and vital funds, ensuring that no one has to face dementia alone.”
– Linzi Stewart, Regional Fundraiser Manager, Northern Ireland, Merseyside & Isle of Man
