I'm walking 62 Miles in October for Dementia UK

This October, I'm walking 62 Miles and raising funds to help ensure no family faces dementia alone. I'm taking on the challenge for Dementia UK, the specialist dementia nursing charity, and would be grateful for your support.

Your donation, big or small, makes a difference. £33 could fund a new dementia specialist Admiral Nurse to spend an hour helping a family in the community, offering practical solutions and emotional support to cope with their loved one’s distressed behaviour.

Thank you!

Caring with Compassion: My Experience Supporting People Living with Dementia

Sunday 20th Sep

Working as a caregiver for people living with dementia has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. It has taught me that caring is not only about helping with daily activities — it is about understanding, patience, kindness and treating every person with dignity.

I feel proud to have been able to support people living with dementia. Every person I have cared for has taught me something valuable about compassion, resilience and the importance of human connection.

I hope that by sharing my experience, I can help raise awareness about dementia and encourage others to understand that sometimes the smallest acts of kindness can make the biggest difference.
