Every September we Walk for Dementia to raise funds to support people living with dementia in our local communities.
We are looking for volunteers to organise a walk in their local area, and for helpers to help raise awareness or help on the day. You will be supported by our charity fundraiser.
In 2024 we raised a whopping £7,900!
Community Fundraisers
This could be collecting donations in a collection bucket in a local shopping centre, arranging community fundraising events, helping to raise awareness of our annual fundraising campaigns in your local area, talking to local business’s or schools to engage them in fundraising for us, or gathering raffle prizes. Let us know what you’d like to do and we will support you to achieve your fundraising goals. You will be supported by our charity fundraiser.
We need help with fundraising across the whole of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.
