Spominčica Alzheimer Slovenia has received a generous donation from NLB Group, the largest bank in Slovenia. NLB Group decided to donate EUR 1.35 million to all markets in their home region where they operate. Their employees put forward nominations for nearly 100 organisations, associations, and humanitarian organisations and, by means of a vote, they selected over 30 recipients for the fund donation. In Slovenia, 10 organisations received donations and Spominčica was among them. This recognition is an acknowledgement of Spominčica’s ongoing dedication and the impact it has in assisting individuals and families affected by dementia. During an event, Blaž Brodnjak, President of the Management Board of NLB Group, extended his congratulations to all the organisations receiving donations.
President of Spominčica, Štefanija L. Zlobec, had the honour of presenting him with Spominčica’s latest publication, the Dementia Guide for Families: Living with Dementia at Home. Mr Brodnjak expressed interest in future cooperation, as people with dementia are often no longer able to manage their money and finances. Spominčica feels that it is therefore beneficial to work together to prevent potential abuse and make it easier for people with dementia to manage their finances. Thanks to the generous donation from NLB Group, Spominčica will be able to strengthen its support services for individuals with dementia and their carers. Its comprehensive programmes, such as Dementia Friendly Points, helpline, support groups, lectures, informative brochures, Spominčica newsletter and Alzheimer Cafés contribute to the creation of a dementia-friendly environment throughout Slovenia. Spominčica remains committed to raising awareness and reducing the stigma associated with dementia in society and extends its deepest appreciation to NLB Group for its generosity and belief in Spominčica's mission.
