Swim for Dementia · 1 July 2021 to 30 April 2022 ·
The past year has been tough for everyone but coronavirus has hit people affected by dementia the hardest and continues to disrupt lives. So that's why I'm making a splash and taking on Swim for Dementia but also in memory of my nan who passed away in 2016 with Alzheimer's.
With full support from our co-founders at Haelu, my colleague, Ellie and I, will be swimming together throughout the 30 days. Please support us by donating whatever you can, we appreciate any support you can provide.
See below what is done with the funds raised:
£300 means over 1,800 people can access Talking Point, our online forum. Here people can learn from each other's experiences, share their frustrations and their knowledge of local services.
£95 provides a telephone-based Dementia Adviser for a full day. Providing essential support to those affected by dementia.
£15 turns four ordinary citizens into superhero Dementia Friends! There is a stigma attached to living with dementia and Dementia Friends facilitates societal change, helping people understand the impact on people’s lives.
Charities pay a small fee for our service. Learn more about fees
