A Nottinghamshire social landlord has announced total funds raised for its 2024 corporate charity.
Platform Housing Group raised £46,005.67 for Dementia UK; this amount was raised thanks to the passion and dedication of colleagues across the organisation alongside match funding by the Group’s Board.
Throughout the year, teams and individuals went above and beyond to fundraise for the specialist dementia nursing charity. From a 200 mile cycling challenge and multiple skydives, to coffee mornings, bake sales, craft fairs and sponsored runs, the creative efforts and community spirit have been inspiring.
Clare Durnin, chief people and excellence officer at Platform Housing Group, said: “We are so proud of what our colleagues have achieved this year. Dementia UK is a cause that resonates with so many of us and the effort people have put in – whether taking on a physical challenge or organising local events – has been amazing to see.”
Daisy Wilson, corporate partnership lead for Dementia UK, said: “We’re grateful to everyone at Platform Housing Group for their fundraising efforts over the past year. It’s been great to see people take on a host of challenging activities, each of which will help us reach more families affected by dementia through our specialist Admiral Nurses, offering life changing practical and emotional support.”
The money raised will directly support Dementia UK’s mission to ensure that no family faces dementia alone.
One in two people will be affected by dementia in their lifetime, either by caring for someone with the condition, developing it, or both.
