Shelton Striders Fundraising for Derby & District "DEMENTIA" support in partnership with - The Hardy Group

Shelton Striders is raising money for The Hardy Group
Loneliness, isolation and depression are very often problems associated with a dementia diagnosis. This can accelerate the progression of symptoms and add significantly to the strains placed on the family carers, many of whom are vulnerable themselves. We provide social activities to help avoid isolation and to build a community that share problems and experiences to enable all to live well with dementia. We do this through bimonthly get-togethers with entertainment and activities to support both mental and physical well-being. We provide regular, highly subsidised days out to places of interest. All this gives carers the opportunity to build their support network, make new friends and relax. The cared-for can have some fun and enjoy some welcome distraction from their troubles

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Shelton Striders (a Derby community running group) are proud to support "The Hardy Group" as our 2025/2026 charity.

This year we are setting the target of £10,000 as this is an annual running cost for the group. Typically, despite the amazing support this group provides, they get very little financial help and rely solely on adhock donations.

The Hardy Group is centered on DERBY and its surrounding areas and is a thriving group of people living with dementia, current and past carers who through their own experiences support each other along their journey with dementia.

The group has a very wide age range from the under 60’s to the over 90’s!

We hold light-hearted social meetings and organise trips out to help all our members stay socially, physically and mentally active so that they can (and do!) live well with dementia.
