STAFF at Priestley Rose care home in Birmingham came together for a fundraising walk in support of Alzheimer’s Research UK – raising hundreds for the good cause.
A dedicated team of caregivers and staff recently participated in a five-kilometre walk to raise funds for the charity, bringing attention to the ongoing fight against Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia.
So far they have raised more than £400 with the amount still growing.
This cause is particularly meaningful for the staff at Priestley Rose, who witness the impact of Alzheimer’s on residents, and their families, daily.
Activities coordinator Elizabeth Hunt said: “We see firsthand the devastating impact Alzheimer’s has on the lives of our residents and their loved ones. Walking in their honour was a powerful and emotional experience – one that brought our team even closer together.”
The walk was not only a way to raise funds, but also to raise awareness and show solidarity with those living with the condition. The event was an opportunity to reflect and raise both money and spirits in support of a future free from Alzheimer’s.
“Raising more than £400 is just the beginning,” added Elizabeth. “We’re already thinking about what’s next, and how we can keep the momentum going. From coffee mornings and raffles to creative workshops and awareness talks, we’ll be continuing our efforts year-round.”
