The Gleeds Charity Treasure Hunt has come around again! This year it will be held on Friday 22nd September 2023, starting at 9.30am at The Southbank Bar, Nottingham City.

The charity of choice this year is Our Dementia Choir, which began as part of a documentary created for BBC1 in 2018. The two-part series saw acclaimed actress Vicky McClure take us on a deeply personal journey where she sets out to discover the true extent of music’s power in combatting dementia. Vicky saw the amazing effect the music had in calming her Grandma down as well as giving glimpses of the old Nana. Vicky formed a choir of people all living with dementia in her hometown of Nottingham to see whether music can make a measurable difference in their lives in 2018… The result: Our Dementia Choir.

There are over 850,000 people in the UK who live with a form of dementia, and despite the progress being made in the search for a cure, it is unlikely to come quick enough to help them. For these people, what’s essential is to find the best way of living with their dementia. Raising money for Our Dementia Choir will be vital to keep the choir together.

The event involves completing a variety of music themed tasks as a team in and around Nottingham’s best pubs and bars; this is a great opportunity to join us for a great day out whilst expanding your network and raising money for Our Dementia Choir.

Thank you for showing your support and donating - see you in September!
