Sourcing City Support Dementia UK

A few of us at Sourcing City are taking part in the Walk 31 Miles in May challenge to support families facing dementia.

Your donation, big or small, makes a difference.

Just £8 can cover the telephone costs for two families seeking support through Dementia UK’s free Helpline.

£33 could fund a new dementia specialist Admiral Nurse to spend an hour helping a family in the community, offering practical solutions and emotional support to cope with their loved one’s behaviour.

Dementia UK is the specialist dementia nurse charity. The nurses, called Admiral Nurses, provide life-changing care to families affected by all forms of dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease. They help people with dementia stay independent for longer and support the people caring for them, so they have the strength to cope with the bad days, and the energy to enjoy the good days. They have the time to listen and the knowledge to solve problems, helping families take back control when they are struggling.

We will be getting in those extra steps in the morning before we start our day in the office, after work and at the weekends. It’s around 2,000 steps a day to achieve 1 mile and luckily, we all have dogs to keep us company to enjoy the longer walks too, posting updates on the Sourcing City Team page.
