Our Virtual From Home to Home Walk on World Alzheimer’s Day hopes raise funds for the Alzheimer's Society

This September residents at Autumn Gardens and Anastasia Lodge Care Homes for older people hope to raise over £1,000 in support for Alzheimer’s Society by completing a virtual 4km walk between their homes located in Winchmore Hill and Southgate. Staff at the homes will monitor the number of steps taken by residents as they complete laps of the gardens.

World Alzheimer’s Day takes place on 21 September and is part of World Alzheimer's Month. Although dementia mainly affects older people, it is not a normal part of ageing. Worldwide, around 50 million people have dementia, and there are nearly 10 million new cases every year. 1 in 3 of us will be affected by dementia and Alzheimer's disease is the most common form and may contribute to 60–70% of cases.

It’s important to us that anyone with dementia feels safe and comfortable. Our homes provide a relaxed environment which offers emotional support as well as meaningful and fun-filled activities. 

By raising money for this great cause we hope to increase awareness of the disease and ultimately help find a cure.
