STAFF and residents at HC-One’s Silverwood Care Home in Nottingham raised more than £450 for Dementia UK when they took on the challenge of walking 100 miles as part of National Walking Month.
Each day throughout May, staff and a few residents went for walks in the surrounding areas of the home, enjoying the fresh air, exercise, scenery and sights whilst also taking the opportunity to get to know each other better.
Home manager Debra Meynell said: “I’m so proud of our colleagues and residents for taking on the challenge of walking 100 miles as part of National Walking Month to raise money for Dementia UK, which is a cause close to our hearts as we provide residential, nursing and dementia care services at Silverwood.
“Thank you to everyone who sponsored us. We hope that by raising funds for Dementia UK we can help contribute towards making a real difference to the lives of those living and affected by the condition.”
