A firm which offers a wellbeing check for people in Norwich provided plenty of cupcakes for an awareness day.
Extra Hands served up the tasty treats as part of the Alzheimer's Society's Cupcake Day on Thursday, which aims to raise funds and awareness for the cause.
The care company team served the cakes at its Horsham St Fith office, near Norwich, and raised more than £100 from the sales.
Hazel Evans, its director, said: 'Our work involves people with this form of dementia and their families. It can be truly devastating for everyone and we are delighted to be supporting a charity which carries out such good work in this field.'
Extra Hands, which employs more than 175 people and has another office in Heacham, was the first in the county to offer the regular wellbeing check, which is made on as many days of the week as required.
It has been designed to support those caring for loved ones.
