I'm swimming for Dementia UK

I'm taking on a 30-Day Swimming Challenge 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!

Hi everyone, I'm taking part in the Dementia UK 30 day swim challenge in memory of my dad, John Giles, who suffered from dementia in the last few years of his life.
My target is to complete 5000 m (200 lengths of a 25 m pool) by open water swimming at Fairhaven Woodland and Water Garden and Bare Hill Lakes  
Please donate if you can.
