Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving Fundraising for charity Dementia UK

Dementia UK's Admiral Nurses provide specialist, life-changing care for families affected by all forms of dementia. They provide information about dementia, what to expect, and give practical tips about how to communicate and reach the person. Dementia is particularly challenging for families, so Admiral Nurses are there to provide emotional support, listening to people's stories and helping them to come to terms with the changes that they are seeing in the person. They also help families to navigate the health and social care landscape which can be confusing at times, and it can be hard to know what to do next, or where to turn. 

The impact your fundraising makes:

£10 could help 25 families learn how to get a dementia diagnosis for a loved one through funding our information and advice leaflets.

£60 could pay for a specialist dementia nurse to support two families in virtual clinic sessions so that they can better support the person they care for.

£390 could keep our Helpline running at full capacity for an hour, supporting families in urgent need of expert dementia support.

£608 could fund a newly appointed specialist dementia nurse to complete a 12-week training module, developing their skills to support families facing dementia.

£1,125 could fund a new specialist dementia nurse for a whole week to support a community where people are struggling to access local dementia services.
