[Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) Wilsonart UK are delighted to announce that this year we will be supporting the Alzheimer's Society as our chosen charity. The choice of charity was chosen was chosen by two of our longest serving members of staff, John Goldsbrough and Kevin Allen, who both work in the finished goods warehouse. The decision to choose the Alzheimer's Society is fully supported by the business. Throughout the year the company will be undertaking a host of fundraising activities – including the annual charity bike ride along with dress down Friday’s. We will also be supporting “Flashback February” – a campaign the Alzheimer’s Society are running throughout the month. To support the Alzheimer’s Society “Flashback February” campaign and to celebrate Wilsonart’s 21st Birthday, we will be posting images and profiles of staff and looking back as to what they were up to 21 years ago – stay tuned our social channels for more information! Further to this, the first fundraising activity will be **FLASHBACK FRIDAY DRESS DOWN DAY. **All staff will be invited to come to work on **Friday 22nd February** in clothes from the 80s or 90s. To donate to our charity events, then simply keep an eye out across our social channels on a regular basis! ## **About Alzheimer’s Society** **![WA charity logo](https://blog.wilsonart.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/WA%20charity%20logo.jpg?width=300&name=WA%20charity%20logo.jpg)**\* Alzheimer's Society is the UK's leading dementia charity.
