Story
One in two of us will be affected by dementia in our lifetime. That’s half of Deutsche Bank employees. Half your family. Half your friends.
Every penny raised through the partnership will help drive Dementia UK’s mission of leading and delivering high quality, expert and accessible dementia care through its specialist Admiral Nurses. Our partnership will also spread the word about the work of Admiral Nurses so more families know how to access their life-changing support, now and in the future.
Through employee fundraising and skill-sharing across the bank, our partnership will transform dementia care. Our two-year partnership has the potential to fund 30 new Admiral Nurses to support an additional 3,000 families affected by dementia.
The challenge : 9 Day trek through Kerala!
Kerala in southern India is renowned for its wonderful palm-fringed beaches and the rich tropical landscape of its interior. Our
trek takes in the lush green forests, cardamom-scented hills and photogenic tea plantations of the Western Ghats.
From the beautiful colonial hill station of Munnar, we trek over forested hills and open ridges, passing plantations of coffee and
mango as well as the famous tea. En route we take in Meesapulimala Peak, India’s second-highest point south of the Himalayas;
the views over this beautiful area are breath-taking.
The cool mountain air is perfect for trekking these wonderful hills; afterwards we head down to the beautiful lagoons and rice
paddies of the coastal backwaters, where we discover the local way of life on a relaxing houseboat cruise.
