Story
On Saturday 21 September 2024, World Alzheimer’s Day, we are completing a 4km stroll between our care homes in Winchmore Hill and Southgate, in support of the Alzheimer’s Society. Our annual guided Home to Home Walk is entirely wheelchair accessible and should last around 1 to 1.5 hours. We will pass through the charming Grovelands Park and down along Southgate High Street before concluding our walk at Autumn Gardens, where we invite you to spend the afternoon together with us enjoying refreshments and delicious cakes! We would love you to join us on our walk or simply donate to help us reach our fundraising target.
Dementia is a devastating condition affecting millions worldwide, and there is still no cure. Recent statistics highlight the growing impact of this disease. Every three minutes, someone in the UK develops dementia, and there are currently around 944,000 people living with dementia in the UK, a number expected to exceed one million by 2030 and 1.6 million by 2050, according to the Alzheimer’s Society. Globally, nearly 50 million people are living with dementia.
By supporting the Alzheimer’s Society, the only UK charity actively campaigning for change, funding research for a cure, and providing vital support to those living with dementia, we can make a significant difference. The funds raised help support critical research and provide essential services for individuals and families coping with dementia, paving the way towards a brighter future.
