Testimonials
"My father was a lifelong Manchester United fan, and his ashes are scattered on the pitch at Old Trafford. We decided to walk from our home ground in Nantwich to Old Trafford. I took part with my nine-year-old son, Ferguson. Seeing Ferguson walk down the tunnel towards the pitch where his grandad's ashes are scattered was the perfect finish line. It's a memory that will last a lifetime for both of us."
Nick
"Do it! It’s tough but it’ll be one of the best things you’ll ever do. The support from the football community, from clubs to fans, friends and family was phenomenal."
Manny
"I would recommend Fans vs Dementia to any football fans. Admiral Nurses are so valuable to families living with dementia. I wouldn’t hesitate to take part again and I know my friends will too."

Do my donations go to Dementia UK?
Like most online donations, your donation is subject to a standard payment processing fee charged by our payment provider, Stripe. This fee is typically 1.4% of the donation + 25p per UK card transaction.
Dementia UK does not pay any platform fees for donations made through Funraisin. The platform is funded through the optional contributions that some donors choose to make.
Why am I being asked to add an optional contribution when donating?
This optional contribution helps cover the running costs of Funraisin, including payment technology, fraud protection, customer support, ongoing platform improvements and compliance. If you choose to contribute, you will help cover these costs so Funraisin can continue to provide a free fundraising platform for Dementia UK and other charities.
Do I have to pay the optional contribution?
If you'd rather not add it, simply select 'I don't wish to help cover costs' during the donation process. Your donation will still be processed and sent to Dementia UK, and choosing not to contribute will not affect your donation or your fundraising experience.
