Staff at Highfield Care Home in Tadcaster have taken part in their local Memory Walk to raise money for Alzheimer’s Awareness and in honour of loved ones who have experienced dementia.

Staff at the home got stuck in to help raise funds for this very important cause. The annual event which takes place across the country, raises vital funds to help research and support those living with Alzheimer’s and their families.

Globally, dementia is one of the biggest challenges we face, with nearly 50 million people living with dementia worldwide.

Kim Quean, Lead Activity Co-ordinator at Highfield Care Home, said: “The Alzheimer’s Society Memory Walk has a special place in my heart, both personally and professionally. Taking part in fundraising for Alzheimer’s Awareness has been a huge amount of fun and everyone at the home has been behind us all the way. We’re very glad to be able to do our bit to raise further awareness and money for the charity.”
