Story
Hello all! 😊
It’s happening again. We’re doing another 24 hour gaming livestream. Last year our stream went so well that we have decided to do it again a year later (yes it’s already been a year). Last year we raised just under £1,300 so have set ourselves a new target to hit higher than that this year. We checked when the clocks go back this time aswell so it’s definitely only 24 hours 🙄😅
Date: 🗓 Friday 22nd October - Saturday 23rd October
Time: ⏰ 8pm (22nd) - 8pm (23rd)
Where: the stream can be viewed on Facebook (we will share the link when it begins) and will also be live on this page.

Why: We are taking part to raise vital funds to help dementia specialist Admiral Nurses support more families facing dementia. Dementia UK provides specialist dementia support for families through their Admiral Nurse service and also happens to be my (Lydia) place of work. As someone who works for this charity and has seen first hand the amazing things our Admiral Nurses do I can tell you with confidence that your support will mean so much to families across the UK living with dementia. If you’d like to learn more here’s a quick animated video to give you an idea of what Admiral Nurses do - https://www.dementiauk.org/togetheragain/
