Councillors, Officers and the local community are coming together, twice a week, in conjunction with Everyone Active at the Sporting Village, to raise money for the Mayor of Basildon’s chosen charity, The Peaceful Place for the 2025/2026 Municipal Year.

Peaceful Place is a supportive and inclusive service empowering individuals living with young onset dementia and retired individuals in the early to moderate stages of dementia to live their best lives.

Their goal is to help participants maintain and develop their skills and talents while engaging in meaningful activities. They offer a variety of programmes tailored to meet the interests and abilities of everyone.

This allows their members to be part of a vibrant community, where they can choose activities that match their personal interests and skill levels, ensuring a fulfilling and enriching experience in a safe, nurturing environment.
