Dementia Forward Charity Partner
We are delighted to announce that Dementia Forward is our new charity partner.
As part of our commitment to corporate responsibility, we work in partnership with a charity for a two year period during which we aim to raise awareness and funds to support the great work of the organisation.
For 2021 – 2022, our team voted to support Dementia Forward, which is a charity that supports people living with dementia and those who care for them.
Recent statistics on dementia state that one in three people born in 2018 will develop dementia in their lifetime. It is a condition that is on the rise and that is highly likely to affect our people, our clients and many of the people we know.
Dementia Forward provide support for families affected by dementia and help support dementia sufferers by connecting them to local services. They also provide education regarding dementia and help to provide an understanding of the next steps following dementia diagnosis. They also run support groups and activities, trying to keep people with dementia active and engaged in order to try to stem the tide of decline. As well as catering for “normal” dementia sufferers, the charity also has a specialist young dementia group for people diagnosed prior to retirement age.
