How it works

1. Register and get your fundraising page

Register for the challenge to set up your online fundraising page. You can personalise your page by adding a profile picture, writing a few sentences about why this challenge is important to you, and setting a fundraising target. You can easily share a link to your page with family, friends and colleagues to collect donations.

2. Track your reading

Download the Bookmory App to easily log your reading minutes and track your daily reading streak. Whether you manage 10 minutes before bed or a couple of hours on a Sunday afternoon, every single minute adds up to support families living with dementia.

It also makes it easy to share your official reading progress with your family, friends and supporters!  

3. Read at your own pace

There’s no pressure to read every single day! Life gets busy, so if you miss a few non-reading days, simply pick up your book again whenever you’re ready. Every chapter you finish makes a difference, so just read as much as you can. You can complete the challenge over a few weeks, a month or the whole winter - whatever works for you!

4. Share your progress

Celebrate your achievements! Share your total minutes read or reading streak on social media from the Bookmory app. Inspire your friends and family to donate (or start their own reading challenge!).

Turn your love of reading into life-changing support. Grab your favourite book, fire up Bookmory, and start turning pages for Dementia UK today.

Dementia doesn’t just affect the person with the diagnosis - it affects the whole family. By taking on the Winter Reading Challenge, you’ll help fund specialist dementia nurses, who provide expert advice and compassionate support when families need it most. Together, we can make sure no one faces dementia alone.
