On 1st August 2026, The Lark Ladies will be walking 13 miles along the beautiful North Norfolk coast in aid of the Alzheimer’s Society & Honeysuckle Day Care Centre – causes that has become deeply personal to our Becky and her family.

Over 850,000 people in the UK are living with dementia, and every single one of them has a unique story, a loved one, and a fight. For us, that fight is personal, since Becky’s mum Ellen has been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia.

Becky’s Story: For years, we watched mum work tirelessly, juggling a full-time job while raising two children, and dreaming of the day she could retire and spend time with her first granddaughter. Unfortunately, her retirement dreams were never to be, as dementia slowly began to take hold. But despite the challenges, mum remains in good hands, surrounded by immense support from our family and the incredible staff at Honeysuckle Our World in Copdock, where she attends a day centre. We are grateful that, although a shadow of her former self, she is still content and happy at home.

This walk is not just a challenge—it’s a way to make my mum proud and to honour her strength, resilience, and the love she has given to all of us. We hope to raise as much money as possible to help those affected by dementia. This journey is as much for my mum as it is for everyone else whose life has been touched by this heart-wrenching disease.

Thank you for supporting us and all families affected by this cruel disease....

If you’ve ever loved someone living with dementia, you’ll know how cruel and relentless this disease can be. It doesn’t just affect one person – it touches the whole family.

"Quite honestly, we wouldn’t be where we are today without Honeysuckle – Our World Dementia Day Care in Copdock, Ipswich. The support they have given our family has been nothing short of extraordinary.

Honeysuckle is a small, family-run dementia day centre based in Suffolk, created with one clear mission: to provide essential respite for families and carers who desperately need a well-deserved break, while ensuring their loved ones receive the highest quality of care in a safe, stimulating and nurturing environment. From gardening and meaningful activities to laughter-filled day trips, they create moments of joy in the middle of such a difficult journey.

At the heart of Honeysuckle are three incredible women – Ali, Lauren and Carol. Our real-life superheroes. Their kindness, patience and unwavering dedication shine through in everything they do. They care for our mum – and so many other mums, dads and grandparents – with dignity, compassion and genuine love. And they don’t just support those living with dementia; they support the families walking alongside them too.

Because of everything they have done for us, it feels so important to give something back. We want them to be able to continue looking after our mum and many other families for years to come."

Any sponsorship, no matter how big or small, will mean the world to this amazing small business. Your support will help them expand their day outings, provide more stimulating activities, and invest in much-needed equipment to enhance the care they give every single day.
