Supporting Dementia Australia: How Ritchies Community Benefits Program Makes a Difference

At Ritchies Supermarkets, we are proud to support Dementia Australia, an organization that provides crucial care and assistance to over 421,000 people living with dementia, as well as their families and carers. Dementia affects many Australians, but thanks to organizations like Dementia Australia, no one has to face it alone.

Dementia Australia offers a free and confidential National Helpline at 1800 100 500, providing expert information, advice, and support 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Their mission is to ensure that people impacted by dementia receive the support and guidance they need, when they need it most.

Through Ritchies' Community Benefits Program, we’ve had the privilege of contributing to this essential work. With every purchase made by our loyal customers, funds are directed towards important causes, including Dementia Australia. The impact is significant, and every dollar raised helps to make a real difference in the lives of those affected by dementia.

To date, funds received through our Ritchies loyalty program in support of Dementia Australia include:

Victoria: $32,367.64

New South Wales: $4,756.13

Queensland: $2,764.63

These contributions help Dementia Australia continue their vital services, from providing education and resources to families, to advocating for better care and understanding of dementia across the community.
