A TRIO of colleagues from HC-One Scotland’s Redmill Care Home in East Whitburn, West Lothian, are preparing to take on a challenge in memory of residents and in support of a cause close to their hearts.
Clinical services manager Lesley Winning, senior care assistant Chelsea McGivern and care assistant Lisa Dunlop will abseil from the Forth Rail Bridge on Sunday, September 28 to raise funds for Alzheimer Scotland.
Lesley said: “This is a cause very close to our hearts. We’re doing this in memory of our residents and to help ensure that no one in Scotland faces dementia alone.”
The event is not only a personal tribute to much-loved residents at Redmill Care Home who lived with dementia, but also a community moment. Residents and fellow colleagues will mark the occasion with a special picnic and will gather to cheer on the fearless trio as they descend the bridge in support of the national dementia charity.
The team has already raised an impressive £350, surpassing their initial target of £200, and they are now calling on friends, family and the local community to continue their support and help them go even further.
Home manager Joanne Cunningham added: “We’re incredibly proud of Lesley, Chelsea and Lisa for taking on this challenge. It reflects the compassionate, coamunity spirit we see every day here at Redmill. We hope many will support and cheer them on.”
