The leading UK homecare provider announced the latest fundraising amount at their annual conference in Manchester to close out World Alzheimer’s Month
Homecare and live-in care provider Bluebird Care has revealed that its franchise network has raised a staggering £92,500 for Alzheimer’s Society in their ongoing fundraising partnership with the charity.
The donation will go towards supporting vital advocacy, support and information services to help those living with dementia and their families.
The fundraising total was unveiled at Bluebird Care’s recent annual conference at Hilston Deansgate Hotel, Manchester. Franchise partners and the National Support Team came together with representatives from Alzheimer’s Society to celebrate another year of care excellence, community impact and shared purpose.
The announcement marks another landmark in Bluebird Care’s ongoing fundraising partnership with Alzheimer’s Society.
During this partnership, a UK-wide fundraising challenge has seen franchise partners and Care Professionals take part in skydives, marathons, trekking events, and Forget Me Not Tea Parties to raise awareness and vital funds.
Earlier this year, Bluebird Care launched a new national fundraising mission with the goal of raising at least £50,000 for Alzheimer’s Society in 2025 – as they are set on closing out the year at over £110,000 raised.
Siobhan Nugent, Head of Regional Fundraising at Alzheimer’s Society, celebrated the presentation of the cheque, saying:
“Bluebird Care’s continued support for Alzheimer’s Society is hugely appreciated. There are nearly one million people living with dementia in the UK. The money raised will help us continue to provide vital support to people living with dementia, fund groundbreaking research and campaign to make dementia a priority.”
“It will take a society to beat dementia – a condition that devastates the lives of so many families across the UK. Bluebird Care network is showing the difference it can make when we work together towards a shared fundraising goal.”
Jonathan Gardner, Chief Executive Officer at Bluebird Care, added:
“At Bluebird Care, we see the reality of dementia in people’s lives every day, and we know the vital importance of support, research, and awareness.
Our franchise network has gone above and beyond to raise this incredible total for Alzheimer’s Society, and we couldn’t be prouder. From skydives to tea parties, our teams are united across the UK in their commitment to help build a future where dementia no longer devastates lives.”
