Nottingham Care Home Raises Over £450 For Dementia UK

Throughout May at HC-One’s Silverwood Care Home in Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, colleagues and residents took on the challenge of walking 100 miles as part of National Walking Month to raise money for Dementia UK. In total, colleagues and residents raised a total of £452.25.

Dementia UK are a specialist dementia nursing charity that provides support for families who require life-changing support and advice for those affected by dementia.

Each day throughout May, colleagues along with a few residents from Silverwood Care Home went for walks in the surrounding areas of the home, enjoying the fresh air, exercise, picturesque scenery and sights whilst also taking the opportunity to get to know each other better.

Debra Meynell, Home Manager at Silverwood Care Home stated:
“I’m so proud of our colleagues and residents for taking on the challenge of walking 100 miles as part of National Walking Month to raise money for Dementia UK which is a cause close to our hearts as we provide residential, nursing and dementia care services at Silverwood.

“Thank you to everyone who sponsored us. We hope that by raising funds for Dementia UK we can help contribute towards making a real difference to the lives of those living and affected by Dementia.”
