LIDDER Care has reached its fundraising target to provide two specialist, sensory dementia tables for its residents at Newgate Lodge Care Home and Lowmoor Nursing Home.
The interactive tables, which will be supplied by Tiny Tablet, will be used by residents as a part of the daily activities offering at their homes. Now in use across the homes, the interactive tables are being enjoyed by residents and staff alike.
Together, the Lidder Care group has raised almost £10,000, which will fully cover the cost of both tables through a variety of fundraising events, challenges and community initiatives.
Beginning at the start of 2025, the fundraising efforts have included everything from sponsored walks and bike rides to bake sales, signed football raffles and completing the Tough Mudder 15K challenge.
In addition to the team’s own efforts, Lidder Care has also received support from local partners, whose donations helped the group reach the milestone.
Manjas Lidder, managing director at Lidder Care said: “These specialist dementia tables will greatly enhance and support the lives of our residents, providing new opportunities for engagement, creativity and meaningful interaction.”
The Tiny Tablet interactive table engages residents with immersive activities and games, stimulating memory and cognitive function, encouraging social interaction and providing therapeutic enjoyment.
Recently, Lidder Care expanded its services to support individuals living in their own homes in Mansfield and Ashfield.
The launch was marked with a ribbon cutting event at the head office in Mansfield, which also featured a fundraising raffle supported by donations from local businesses.
