Stratford Leisure Centre are taking on the National Three Peaks Challenge, in support of Everyone Actives partnership with Dementia UK.

Starting on the 20th July, 7 members of the team from Stratford Leisure Centre will set out to scale the highest peaks of Scotland, England and Wales, all within 24 hours!

In August 2022, Everyone Active started a year-long partnership with Dementia UK - the only charity that provides specialist dementia nurse support through their Admiral Nurse service. Admiral Nurses provide life-changing support and guidance for families affected by all forms of dementia in communities, hospitals and hospices, on the free national Dementia Helpline, and in clinics.

Everyone Active are hoping to raise £50,000 through the partnership, which could cover essential operations, including the basic costs of 17,500 people contacting their Dementia Helpline so that they can benefit from life-changing advice and support.

This new partnership will help to raise awareness of the positive impact that being active can have on individuals and families affected by dementia.

There is no cure for dementia. But there is care. And care can change lives. Thats why Dementia UK is here.
